About ACIH:
Rationale for Establishing ACIH in Japan

In Japan, progress in the area of health and medical care has been particularly remarkable.  Our life span is one of the longest and infant mortality is one of the lower.  However, we can not remain complacent in view of the fact that there are many nations in Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Latin America where the health situation needs substantial improvement.  In fact, the gap between rich and poor nations in the area  of health appears to be widening. 

Under the circumstances, everyone, rich and poor alike, must work together to improve this unsatisfactory situation. Agency for Cooperation in International Health (ACIH), a non-profit organization, has been established with the endorsement of the Japanese Government to participate in just such an international effort.

To assist in this undertaking, ACIH was established in 1990 with the headquarter in Kumamoto, JAPAN.
