Cerebrovascular disease in Yokohama

Efforts to cerebrovascular disease in Yokohama City

The number of deaths from cerebrovascular disease in Yokohama City exceeds 2,000 a year, making it the third largest cause of death, and many of those who need nursing care are caused by cerebrovascular disease.

In December 2008, Yokohama City has been collecting information on the acceptance status of these medical institutions and sharing the information with emergency rescue squads, with the cooperation of medical institutions that can respond to cerebrovascular diseases. We have been working to create a system that allows smooth and appropriate medical care.
In addition, in fiscal 2009, with the consent of medical institutions participating in the emergency medical system for cerebrovascular disease, the name of the hospital was announced and an emergency medical system for cerebrovascular disease was started.
