Philippine - Japan Medical Seminar - Bizwatch
There was an important medical seminar held in the country very recently at the Philippine International Convention Center which was attended by no less than 143 attendees. In the said seminar, trade and industry institutions from Japan and the Philippines agreed to cooperate in addressing concerns in both countries.
The recent Philippine-Japan Medical Seminar was titled Diagnosis and Treatment of Hypertension and Heart Diseases. It was hosted by Medical Excellence Japan, a Japan-backed foundation. The foundation noted that in recent years, diseases like cancer, hypertension and cerebrovascular diseases have been increasing in the Philippines. It is calling for an efficient and effective detection and treatment for these which are regarded as lifestyle-related diseases.
Medical Excellence Japan was joined by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Japan External Trade Organization and the Japan international Cooperation Agency or JICA. Its Philippine partners are the Dept. of Trade & Industry, the Dept. of Health, Philippine General Hospital, and the Embassy of Japan in the Philippines. Here’s more with our correspondent (LOOK RIGHT)
Japanese doctor Seigo Kitano, president of Oita University, presented the historical and current state preventive measures and cure for cancer while PGH Director Gerardo Legaspi discussed the Philippine medical situation. Dr. Tsukasa Ishida of Kobe University Hospital who is currently based in St. Luke’s Medical Center also discussed his observations in the Philippines. A Director of the Dept. of Clinical Medicine and Development and the National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center in Japan also shared the present trends and practices in the prevention and treatment of hypertension and heart diseases.
This healthcare seminar was the result of a memorandum of agreement between the health authorities of Japan and the Philippines during the 2015 Japan-Philippines Seminar Meeting to provide an exchange of knowledge on effective policy creation and personnel training in the medical sectors of Japan and the Philippines.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Kobe ( KOH-bee, -bay, Japanese: [koꜜːbe]; officially 神戸市 Kōbe-shi) is the sixth-largest city in Japan and the capital city of Hyōgo Prefecture. It is located on the southern side of the main island of Honshū, on the north shore of Osaka Bay and about 30 km (19 mi) west of Osaka. With a population around 1.5 million, the city is part of the Keihanshin metropolitan area along with Osaka and Kyoto.The earliest written records regarding the region come from the Nihon Shoki, which describes the founding of the Ikuta Shrine by Empress Jingū in AD 201. For most of its history, the area was never a single political entity, even during the Tokugawa period, when the port was controlled directly by the Tokugawa shogunate. Kobe did not exist in its current form until its founding in 1889. Its name comes from kanbe (神戸, an archaic title for supporters of the city's Ikuta Shrine). Kobe became one of Japan's designated cities in 1956.
Kobe was one of the cities to open for trade with the West following the 1853 end of the policy of seclusion and has since been known as a cosmopolitan and nuclear-free zone port city. While the 1995 Great Hanshin earthquake diminished much of Kobe's prominence as a port city, it remains Japan's fourth-busiest container port. Companies headquartered in Kobe include ASICS, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, and Kobe Steel, as well as over 100 international corporations with Asian or Japanese headquarters in the city, such as Eli Lilly and Company, Procter & Gamble, Boehringer Ingelheim, and Nestlé. The city is the point of origin and namesake of Kobe beef, as well as the site of one of Japan's most famous hot spring resorts, Arima Onsen.
Tourism in Japan
Japan attracted 13,413,600 international tourists in 2014, slightly more than Singapore. Japan has 16 World Heritage Sites, including Himeji Castle and Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto. Popular foreigner attractions include Tokyo and Nara, Mount Fuji, ski resorts such as Niseko in Hokkaido, Okinawa, riding the shinkansen and taking advantage of Japan's hotel and hotspring network.
