1. Background
Although WHO had
promoted health policies based on Alma-ata
declaration as “Health for all by the year 2000”, it has been
realized that there was no possibility in 1990s. For the next step on it, WHO has

and grown, especially from participants who are working in research or
educational institutions. Especially they wish to learn health forecasting
methodology which is one of core lectures in the training course, which is also
useful for health planning, health policy making. As we tried to develop new

Although we have several inquiries from developing countries, it
is very tough to pay necessary payment by personally. We are requested to
fulfill our fund source to support them. And, as many of them are currently
working in important position in their governments, some of them feel
difficulty in 4-year doctoral course, either for employment reason or in financial
reason. Thus, we are also requested to develop a master course for them.
3) Activation on International Joint Researches
We are conducting joint studies on international health,
utilizing network of graduates of the training course. Especially on “Study on
Networking and Information Sharing with international organizations,
governmental organizations and non-governmental organizations” in 2004-006, we
