This year marks the 10th anniversary of an epoch-making incident in the history of Japan’s infectious disease control policies. Courts found that Japan’s Leprosy Isolation Policy (1907-1996) violated human rights against leprosy patients and families by enforcing it even after the establishment of chemotherapy. Japan had extended the policies to the Korean Peninsula and other colonial regions through 1945. Dr. Sase will explore the legacies of these policies, and illuminate implications for today’s infectious disease policies and human rights.

 Eriko Sase, Ph.D. is a board member for the Global Health Research Center of Japan, and an adjunct professor at the Department of Global and Community Health, Graduate School of Medicine, the University of Tokyo. She is also an overseas researcher at the Japan Medial Association Research Institute. Recently, she was appointed to be the head researcher of the “Health and Human Security Project” by Japan Center for International Exchange. Dr. Sase, as the Director, established the Global Health Systems Program in the Master of Public Health Program at the Boonshoft School of Medicine in Wright State University. She was selected as a member of the Ohio Center of Excellence for Human-Centered Innovation, and of the Honor Society for International Scholars in Washington, D.C.
