The Japanese government advances the policy of allergic diseases based on the Allergy Disease Control Act and the basic guideline, which were formulated in 2014 and 2017, respectively. The basic guideline indicates specific policies from a variety of perspectives. The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare promotes those policies in cooperation with other ministries and agencies to create a safe, secure and comfortable society for patients with allergic diseases. Medical services contributing to the equalization of medical care have been established prefecture-wide in Japan. We prepare to build a homepage for providing the precise information of allergy and for explaining the 10-year strategy for allergy research.
