In closing
The JPMA Patient Group Seminar has been held since 2000, and this time, for the first time, the seminar was video-delivered. Although we regret that we were unable to meet with the patient groups in person, we are happy that we were able to deliver the information to so many people, some of whom were unable to attend the venue until now. We hope that the experiences and thoughts of Mr. Ikezaki and Mr. Matsumoto will help you in your patient organization activities.
