Government Medical Question.

[Don Posca]

Does Japan have a government-run medical agency like America's Centers for Disease Control, or the UN's World Health Organization? Some agency that would respond in a threat of epidemic or germ weapon discovery? I have found a "Japan Infectious Diseases Society", but that appears to be a civil association, not an actual ministry department.
