La Japan Primary Care Association (JPCA) se estableció en 2010 mediante la fusión de tres sociedades académicas: la Japanese Medical Society of Primary Care, la Japanese Academy of Family Medicine y la Japanese Society of General Medicine. Este artículo revisa el desarrollo histórico de estas organizaciones predecesoras, el contexto y el proceso de su unificación, y la evolución de la JPCA. Durante los últimos 15 años, la JPCA ha promovido la práctica clínica, la educación y la investigación, al tiempo que ha mejorado la colaboración interprofesional y los sistemas de certificación para médicos, enfermeros y farmacéuticos. Su respuesta proactiva ante desastres, su implicación durante la pandemia de COVID-19 y su participación en las políticas sanitarias reflejan su dedicación a abordar el cambiante panorama de la atención sanitaria en Japón. Como organización académica líder en atención primaria en Japón, la JPCA continúa fomentando la atención integrada basada en la comunidad y aspira a fortalecer su presencia tanto a nivel nacional como internacional en el campo progresivo de la atención primaria.
