Okay, imagine you are playing with some toys and you want to make sure they stay clean and safe to play with. You might ask your mom or dad to help you by putting them away in special containers or cleaning them.
Well, in Japan, there are companies that make special medicine and they want to make sure it is safe and of good quality for people who need it.
That's where the Japan Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association comes in. It's like a group of grown-up toy keepers who help these medicine-making companies make sure their medicine is safe, and help them follow rules and regulations.
The Association works with the government and other organizations to make sure medicine is properly tested and approved before it can be sold to help people. They also help companies share information and research to make better medicine.
So, like how your mom or dad help you take care of your toys, the Japan Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association helps medicine makers take care of their medicine to make sure people stay healthy and safe.
