The 3rd Japan Medical Affairs Summit, Co-Organized by MAPS, PhRMA and JAPhMed will take place April 20-21, 2026 in Tokyo.  We invite you to HELP SHAPE the future of Medical Affairs in Japan as we continue to our quest to greater impact patient outcomes.

The Japan Medical Affairs Summit 2026 will once again bring together leaders from across the healthcare ecosystem to exchange insights, share best practices, and explore the evolving role of Medical Affairs in Japan.  Through interactive discussions, case studies, and networking sessions, participants will gain practical perspectives on how Medical Affairs can continue to drive value and advance excellence across Japan’s dynamic healthcare landscape.

Co-Organizers

Since its opening in 1987, PhRMAʼs Japan office has actively developed various activities on behalf of its member companies in Japan. We promote activities focused on direct dialogue with all concerned parties such as government officials, doctors and other medical staff, media parties and patient organizations. PhRMA cooperates with the Japan Pharmaceutical Federation, the Japan Pharmaceutical Industry Association, and the European Pharmaceutical Federation to develop activities.

JAPhMed has more than 50 years of history in developing “pharmaceutical medicine” in Japan which is defined as a medical specialty concerned with the discovery, development, evaluation, licensing and monitoring of medicines and the medical aspects of their marketing. Based on our mission: “To promote Pharmaceutical Medicine by enhancing the knowledge, expertise and skills of pharmaceutical professionals and physicians, thus leading to the availability and appropriate use of medicines for the benefit of patients and the society.” JAPhMed operates as the Japanese affiliate of the International Federation of Associations of Pharmaceutical Physicians & Pharmaceutical Medicine (IFAPP).

The Medical Affairs Professional Society (MAPS) is the premier non-profit global Medical Affairs organization FOR Medical Affairs professionals BY Medical Affairs professionals across all different levels of experience/specialty. Together with over 10,500 Medical Affairs members from 300+ companies globally, MAPS is transforming the Medical Affairs profession to increase its value to patients, HCPs, industry and society.
