"The Final Chapter of Life Can Be Transformed into Warm Moments"

Yu Yasui, Chairman of Medical Corporation En, delivered a keynote speech at the 56th MDRT Japan Convention in Hiroshima on April 24, 2026. Addressing approximately 5,000 life insurance and financial professionals, Yasui shared his insights on home-based palliative care in Japan's aging "multi-death society." Drawing from his personal loss and medical experience in Myanmar, he emphasized that simple acts like physical touch and returning home, even briefly, can return dignity to patients. He encouraged MDRT members to support grieving families by facilitating open communication and helping them navigate the emotional challenges of terminal care.
