HANDS: Health and Development Service

HANDS is a non-profit organization that endeavors to create a healthy and prosperous global community through international cooperation in public health.

HANDS partners include other non-profit organizations worldwide that share a common interest in global health, as well as with governments and international organizations. We improve healthcare systems at a regional or at a country level and support the development of a sustainable management for these systems while being sensitive to the unique environment and culture of these regions.

We believe in the importance of collaboration with skilled professionals inside and outside of Japan as well as using our knowledge and expertise to train and develop young professionals who will lead these missions into the next generation.
