Japan: Hospital Ambulances Set for the Elderly
Ambulances owned by hospitals will be used in the capital to transport elderly patients from their homes to medical institutions, to help Tokyo Fire Department ambulances deal with a sharp increase in the number of such patients, the Tokyo Medical Association said.

They do not transport ordinary patients to hospitals. Ac

Japan: Northeast Japan Still Suffering from Lack of Medical Services, Manpower
It’s been 2 years since the northeast region of Japan was hit by the Great East Japan Earthquake with some towns almost totally washed away by the subsequent tsunami. However, the residents’ rehabilitation has not been promising especially when it comes to medical services. A lot of medical facilities are neither available for operations nor have enough manpower. Some people have even stopped, if not given up, visiting hospitals. The prefectures of Iwate, Miyagi, and Fukushima only have a number of health facilities back in operations, but they still cannot guarantee their capability to attend to the needs of the p
