Research TopicCreation of the Health Care System for the Community-Dwelling Elderly in the Kingdom of Bhutan
Ryota has been working in the Kingdom of Bhutan, a place he had longed to visit since his childhood. In Bhutan, he strives, in cooperation with local residents and the Ministry of Health, to improve the health of the community-dwelling elderly. He believes that Bhutan and Japan can encourage and support one another, as well as learn from one another to create a bright future. As he works, he often recalls wise words from an old man living high in the Himalayas: “Young people seek an easy life, but forget that one can live happily even where the land is small.”
