＊Health GDP mouse over here!
“Health GDP” is a new term advocated by AIFN. It is calculated by “GDP – total loss caused by disease”. In order to increase Health GDP, reduction of medical care cost is essential, and for that purpose, taking dietary/food supplements are one of the most effective ways.AIFN will precede the academic research project of Health GDP, to verify economic impact of dietary/food supplements cutting cost of medical care in Japan.
