Dear Prime Minister Abe:
As you are aware, there are already more than 1 million confirmed cases of covid-19 in the world, and an untold number more who have gone without testing. Many of the signatories of this letter have family, friends and colleagues in Japan. As friends, scientists and medical professionals we respectfully request that you establish a Center for Disease Control as an ongoing and generously funded national institution in order to help mobilize the great expertise you have in Japan. Preparation and rapid response are key in containing infectious disease, and national and international level responses based on timely and expert opinion are of utmost importance, now and in the future. We hope your government will move rapidly in this direction.
Our hopes are with all in Japan at this time,

Japan needs a CDC to provide scientific guidance for the government to act upon. I live in Japan and I support Dr. Iwata’s petition.
権限を持った疾病対策センターは日本に必要です。日本は意思決定プロセスが不透明且つ迅速性に乏しい。そして設立後、行政府と癒着し形骸化しない独立性、政治的中立性を保てるCDC実現を望みます。
As one of those foreigners working in Japan , I hope Japanese government take the responsibility for us as well as its citizens.
This is essential to effectively deal with pandemics like this time. I also believe the new CDC of Japan needs stable budget every year while pandemic doesn’t happen every year.
Science and fact based action is critical to battle diseases -- not political negotiations. We need people with the necessary knowledge and training, as well as a tactical mindset for combating pandemics. We urge you to establish a CDC - if you do so, it will be the greatest achievement of your administration.
Thank you for consideration of this important appeal.
Thank you for you signature Dr. Haase
