Advancing Equity in Global Healthcare Systems - Softcover

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Eriko Matsumoto obtained her Master of Public Health (MPH) from the Department of Health Informatics, School of Public Health, Kyoto University. She places particular emphasis on global health equity and pursues both quantitative and qualitative research, including work on health data, information, and digital contexts, with attention to openness, to contribute to the development of sustainable global healthcare systems. Her research experience includes clinical studies on cancer and rare diseases, evidence-based clinical guideline methodology, and investigations into rare disease networks and patient and public involvement (PPI) particularly within Europe. She has published scholarly books on cancer and clinical research ethics guidelines, contributed to the compilation of an international medical encyclopedia, and undertaken editorial responsibilities with academic journals, including Nature. Building on these experiences, she integrates perspectives from global health and ethical, legal, and social issues (ELSI), including AI ethics, to address emerging challenges in global healthcare systems that serve humanity.
