Abstract

<p>Japan is standing at the forefront in the trend of progressing aging society on a global scale. It is not only urgent to act on the aging of society in the country, it may be required to present and share the knowledge and experience to the world. We have promoted the program of community-based medical care for the elderly in Bhutan in cooperation with local villagers and the central government. In Bhutan, there is an idea that harmony with all living things is a source of longevity. There were conditions that we cannot provide adequate medical care for diseases which are treatable in our country. On the other hand, there were the handicapped cared by families, relatives, and neighbors in the rich nature of the village. Grasping the current situation of Bhutan’s elderly people is important for knowing what we gained and lost. It must be significant for the both countries to seek the elderly care in line with the regions while sharing issues and possibilities, and symphonizing each other.</p>
