Training program in Japan for health caretakers from developing countries.

In 1979, the International Center for Medical Research was organized in Kobe University School of Medicine and promoted the scientific cooperation through invitation of foreign scientists from developing countries as the Core University of Medical Science of Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS). Perinatal medicine is one of the main subjects in this program and we have accepted more than thirty neonatologists from Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand and other developing countries.
