Summary
Primary Care (PC), General Practice (GP) and Family Medicine (FM) have been important medical fields and developed for long years. In May 2017, I was the chairman of 8th annual Congress of Japanese Primary Care Association (JPCA) and Dr Hinohara gave us his last official message in his life concerning the development history of PC in Japan.
