Recent years have witnessed a significant upsurge in the elderly population in Japan, and it is estimated that by 2025, the number of patients requiring home medical care will reach 290,000. Hence, the development of a comprehensive regional care system has been proposed and is under implementation. Under the comprehensive regional care system, we aim to contribute to the community by developing student education, lifelong education of pharmacists, clinical research, and medical care activities concerning regional medical care/home medical care to enable residents to continue living true to themselves in their local communities to which they have become accustomed their whole life. Furthermore, in recent years, the role of pharmacists in disaster medical care has garnered attention. However, at present, little information is available about disaster medical care in the pharmaceutical education curriculum. In our department, education and research concerning the establishment of a system that can effectively implement drug therapy during disasters and the method of medicine supply during disasters will be conducted.
The mobile pharmacy automobile "Mobile Pharmacy" introduced by our university in 2017 can dispense medicines in areas affected by a disaster, even when lifelines are lost, such as in the case of a large-scale disaster. During the Kumamoto earthquake, three Mobile Pharmacies were initially launched, which helped save the lives of many victims. Furthermore, we are responsible for the operation of the Mobile Pharmacy of the university and will conduct education and research using the Mobile Pharmacy for disaster medical care and medical care in remote areas.
