Description

During the week of August 6th, 2017, we conducted "Practice of Field Medicine related to health maintenance for community-dwelling elderly people" in Tosa town. In this program, students participate into health checkups for the community-dwelling elderly as staff members. The program was started in 2004 for the purpose of enabling the elderly to live in their home land cheerfully. During the last 14 years, the life expectancy of Tosa town became the longest for women and the 3rd longest for men in Kochi Prefecture. Before the program, the premium for nursing-care insurance of Tosa town was the highest in the prefecture. But now, it became suppressed compared with other towns in the prefecture. Based on the activities in Tosa town, the Bhutanese government is now trying to introduce health checkup system for the elderly on a national scale. In 2017, students came to Tosa town to participate into the program from various universities such as Kyoto University, Tokyo Women's Medical University, Kochi University, Niigata University, Osaka University, Kyushu Dental University, University of Debrecen, and University of Kochi. In this article, we would like to introduce what made the students come to Tosa town and what they got through the experiences in Tosa town with their own words.
