Impact of the US Philanthropy on the Japanese Healthcare Reform

这项研究的目的是通过审查总部办公室(GHQ)公共卫生和福利科(PHW)的档案文件、美国国务院文件和公共卫生与福利科负责人克劳福德·F·萨姆斯(Crawford F.Sams)的私人信件，阐明公共卫生和福利科(PHW)与美国慈善机构，特别是洛克菲勒基金会(RF)在战后日本医疗改革中的合作。通过这项研究，可以得出结论，GHQ和RF之间的合作为日本国立公共卫生研究所和东京圣卢克医院的重建提供了专业知识和资金支持。

The purpose of this research is to clarify the collaboration between the Public Health and Welfare Section (PHW)of the General Headquarters Office (GHQ) and US philanthropy, in particular, the Rockefeller Foundation (RF) in postwar Japanese healthcare reform by examining the archival GHQ documents, US State Department documents and personal letters of Crawford F. Sams, head of PHW. Through this research, it can be concluded that the collaboration between the GHQ and RF provided professional expertise and financial support for the reconstruction of Japan's Institute of National Public Health and St. Luke's Hospital in Tokyo.
