**◼️ Book Overview**
Why women's health is a management issue now (from 'Introduction')
In October 2025, Sanae Takaichi, President of the Liberal Democratic Party, was inaugurated as the 104th Prime Minister, becoming the first female Prime Minister in Japan's constitutional history. Prime Minister Takaichi revealed that she has been working on policies to support women's health based on her own experience of suffering from a chronic illness caused by menopausal symptoms. In her first policy speech, she stated, "I will thoroughly implement '**proactive preventive medicine**' to extend healthy life expectancy so that everyone can actively participate and become supporters of social security. _In particular, I will accelerate responses to health issues derived from sex differences._ I have been tackling women's lifelong health issues for many years, and last year (2024), the Comprehensive Center for Women's Health was established. With this center as the command tower, we will work on the development of treatment bases, research, and human resource development for diseases specific to women, and spread those results nationwide."
The reason I became deeply interested in health issues specific to sex differences was from my experience of being diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2009. Being told I had cancer at the age of 35, right in the middle of running a company and raising a child, and even though it was found early, having my uterus completely removed meant I could no longer give birth. I deeply felt that "**choosing not to give birth and being unable to choose are completely different**," and the thought, "_If this was so important, I wish I had known before I got cancer_," is my starting point.
Now we are in an era where individuals can choose whether to marry, get pregnant, and give birth. On the other hand, if you don't know the correct knowledge, appropriate information, and how to access medical care, you carry the risk of losing life choices or even your life. This structure is not just a personal problem; it is also an issue for **companies and society as a whole**.
Finally, serious discussions are taking place in Japan regarding the importance of human capital and how to improve the quality of work. Individual health has been positioned as a management issue in companies, and countermeasures have begun to advance. If you want to access reliable new information based on scientific evidence, a cheap and easy-to-access environment already exists.
All that remains is for management to **"decide to do it" and "execute it by setting goals and deadlines."**
In March 2026, we stand at a major turning point. Organizations that act without missing this opportunity will become the companies chosen by society. This book aims to address health management, especially women's health issues, _so that motivated and capable human resources can work energetically and with a sense of purpose, realizing the happy growth and transformation of companies and society._
