- Category:Other
Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba on Tuesday instructed his government to develop a system to operate so-called hospital ships by January 2026.
on the same day, the government adopted a program for the introduction of hospital ships, which provide medical care at sea in the event of large-scale disasters and infectious disease outbreaks.
To prepare for possible megaquakes in the Nankai Trough off the country's Pacific coast and beneath the Tokyo metropolitan area, a law on the promotion of medical care using ships was put into effect last June.
The introduction program calls for using existing private-sector ships for the time being for transporting patients from disaster-affected areas and providing medical care near affected areas.
The government plans to conclude agreements with ship and transport operators, coordinate with medical organizations, and conduct related drills.
