Action Diplomatic Memorandum

To:The Minister of Foreign AffairsSubject:Canadian strategy for collaboration with Japan to adopt new healthcare strategies for promoting maximum communication between the patients and Canadian doctorsSummary: The Conference will present an opportunity for the Canadian states to focus on improving their healthcare by signifying the importance of online communications between the healthcare physicians and the patients. The quick communication between the two sides would be enabled with the integration of Japanese technology and professional expertise to address the current challenge during the global pandemic. Canada plans to be an active participant at the Conference so that no stone is left unturned for providing its citizens with the best healthcare services and facilities that would require institutional reform, despite being equipped with the best information technology tools in the country. Unique prospects of smart healthcare within its medical bedrock would be discussed keenly in the upcoming Conference.Recommendations:i. You agree to ask Japan for support in making healthcare improvements for the social welfare of its citizens.ii. That you approve the objectives mentioned in this memorandum.iii. That you approve the proposed steps mentioned in the memorandum.BackgroundEconomic cooperation and assistance could be gained from other countries to maintain peaceful relations between both regions. Trade-in healthcare could result in cross-border delivery of products and services that one country lacks and the other country is proficient in or has an abundance. The movement of professionals and technologies across borders can be counted in economic cooperation in healthcare that could be made possible with appropriate national and state policies. Capitalizing on globalization is not new in the contemporary world, and the countries who already on good national terms, such as Canada and Japan, take safeguard measures for benefitting from these efforts.Canadas healthcare system has not developed to the level that could ensure online communications of doctors online, especially for discussing medications, health conditions and emailing them in critical needs. Japan has made progress with leaps and bounds in the healthcare industry. However, it supported Canada in other areas of the economy, such as automobiles, information, communication, sustainable technologies, financial services, and assistance in forestry (Government of Canada, 2021). However, Canada has not pressed to the mark that could guarantee obstacle-free communications with doctors. Approximately one-fifth family doctors in Canada allow their patients to have the option of contacting them online, despite the countrys vigorous use of online communications for studying, ordering food, and even online banking (Philphott & Bhattacharyya, 2019). Contacting doctors via online means remains a hindrance for the Canadian population. Moreover, being one of the eleven high-income countries of the world, it has scored worst in a survey conducted by the Commonwealth Fund International Health Policy Survey of Primary Care Physicians (Philphott & Bhattacharyya, 2019). This becomes an issue of national concern when health on broader terms needs to be understood in difficult times like todays pandemic.It would not be wrong to say that Canada possesses state-of-the-art technology. Still, there is an assumed lack of skills or awareness from the family doctors side and the patients that the healthcare technology should be incorporated well. Japan can support its supreme quality information technology in the healthcare industry to help Canada with its dilemma. Furthermore, funding from the federal government accounted up for $2.5 billion for the regulation of accrete funds in the concerned departments, especially for adopting digital tools that would assist in recording electronic patient data; however, the matter at the moment does not require documentation and billing. Rather, it must focus on seamless integration of methods that could be used for knowledge advancement for primary care teams in Canada for promoting online healthcare to their patients. Since healthcare is of prime concern for every geographical region these days due to pandemics, Canada wants to be on the top to adopt enhanced healthcare infrastructure for its citizens. The tools and methods that helped Japan gain a top place in healthcare technology could be shared with the Canadian government to encourage the economic development of both countries.ConsiderationsFollowing considerations must be taken when making the policy recommendations so that all crucial factors are addressed and thoroughly contemplated when the decision is to be made. Canadas overall objective is to maximize its citizens social well-being, mainly in times of the current pandemic. Each country citizen is given equal healthcare services without any discrimination of gender, race, sex, religion, or ethnic background. This philosophy is clearly in line with Canadas Constitution, The Charter, Section 15 as well that states that every individual in Canada has the right to be treated fairly regardless of any discrimination based on national, religious, ethnic origin or even in the name of the color, sex, physical or mental disability (Canadian Department of Justice, n.a.). The economic collaboration between Canada and Japan should be strengthened since the economic relationship would help build a peaceful environment between the two countries. Japan is the third-largest economy globally, with the support of whom Canada can eliminate healthcare…
