Reinforcing the mutual cooperation, all staff members of the Graduate School and Hospital are given opportunity to work together so that they may pursue common goals that benefit from international academic exchange.<\/p>\n<h3>Roles<\/h3>\n<p>Answer inquiries regarding international academic exchange in the field of Medicine and Healthcare, create proposals, plan events, provide necessary support and build a network of human resources.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Facilitates conclusion of various kinds of agreements and memorandums.<\/li>\n<li>Provides supports for educational programs and hospital tours for medical specialists from overseas.<\/li>\n<li>Responds to inquiries regarding international collaboration and coordinates educational support, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Organization<\/h3>\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.med.osaka-u.ac.jp\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/introduction\/organization\/organization_health.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div>\n<h3>Message from the Director of Global Health Initiative<\/h3>\n<p>One of the most important missions of universities in our days is human resource development. We, therefore, assume significant accountability for fostering young and excellent human resources under diverse values to educate the next leadership generation and provide them to the society, where they will be responsible as future global leaders. To perform this task, it is necessary to cooperate and exchange ideas with various institutions operating under different values and cultures both in Japan and abroad.<\/p>\n<p>Especially, in our time, where enormous information becomes readily available in a very short time, the world has been brought closer to each other \u2013 thus this implies that our activities are required to be implemented at the internationally acceptable level, not only in research but also in education and clinical practice, that is, at a \u201cGlobal Standard\u201d.<br \/>On the one hand, both Graduate School of Medicine and Osaka University Hospital have been actively promoting international exchange of students and researchers, providing medical training for medical doctors and medical services for patients from abroad, as well as steadily pushing ahead with international clinical trials, while developing necessary educational programs and the relevant systems.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, however, many emerging challenges have been recognized along with the accelerated internationalization.<br \/>To actively meet these emerging issues, we have established four \u201cinitiatives\u201d under four different scopes.<br \/>Global Health Initiative (GHI) is the first one, which is assigned to promote the global strategic activities.<\/p>\n<p>Thereby, at GHI, several centers and offices, which are engaged in international affairs, have been functionally unified, so that education, research and medical practices \u2013 required both for medical sciences and medical services at the Graduate School of Medicine and Osaka University Hospital \u2013 can be executed as a series of necessary processes by its centralized management from a global perspective.<\/p>\n<p>GHI prepares a favorable environment for all members of the Graduate School of Medicine and Osaka University Hospital to cooperate and to make their best efforts for globalization, and tries to work in a strategic and smooth manner to strengthen and enrich our international exchange activities. Although our activity of GHI is still in its infancy, we have been ensuring positive impacts day by day.<\/p>\n<p>The major role of GHI is to strategically develop measures and smoothly implement them for international activities. Hereafter, looking ahead to further development and deepening of international exchange, we would like to launch our unique policies and strategies for the globalization.<\/p>\n<p>(Eiichi MORII, Director of Global Health Initiative)<\/p>\n<h3>Activities<\/h3>\n<h4>International Collaborations<\/h4>\n<h5>Conclusion of agreements and memorandums<\/h5>\n<div class=\"clearfix m_u20\">\n<div class=\"w30 m_l2 resp_w100 fr\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"w100 resp_w50 imgC\" src=\"http:\/\/www.med.osaka-u.ac.jp\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/introduction\/organization\/ghi\/ghi_10.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<ul>\n<li>Concluded Memorandum of Understanding with\u00a0Ministry of Public\u00a0Health, Thailand\u3000[July, 2017]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--  \/ .wrap --><\/div>\n<p><!-- \/ .clearfix --><\/p>\n<div class=\"clearfix m_u20\">\n<div class=\"w30 m_l2 resp_w100 fr\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"w100 resp_w50 imgC\" src=\"http:\/\/www.med.osaka-u.ac.jp\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/introduction\/organization\/ghi\/ghi_09.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<ul>\n<li>Concluded Memorandum of Understanding with Queen Sirikit National Institute of Child Health, Thailand\u3000[March, 2017]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--  \/ .wrap --><\/div>\n<p><!-- \/ .clearfix --><\/p>\n<div class=\"clearfix m_u20\">\n<div class=\"w30 m_l2 resp_w100 fr\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"w100 resp_w50 imgC\" src=\"http:\/\/www.med.osaka-u.ac.jp\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/introduction\/organization\/ghi\/ghi_01.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<ul>\n<li>Concluded Agreement on Academic Exchange to promote students\u2019 academic mobility between Yonsei University, Peking University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine for \u201cINTER-UNIVERSITY EXHANGE PROJECT (Campus Asia)\u201d [February, 2017]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--  \/ .wrap --><\/div>\n<p><!-- \/ .clearfix --><\/p>\n<div class=\"clearfix m_u20\">\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<ul>\n<li>Concluded Agreement on Academic Exchange with Ministry of Health of Government of Palau.
