徳島における公衆衛生の推進について

There are two major areas of responsibility in the field of public health : public health research and public health administration. The role of public health research is to discover the factors affecting health using epidemiological and statistical methods, while the role of public health administration is to develop laws and budgets to improve the health standards of the population.
The Department of Public Health at Tokushima University has recently started research on the effects of assisted reproductive medicine on pregnant women and their fetuses as well as the ways of providing information on medical treatment. In addition, we are conducting research on themes closely related to the health issues of the residents of Tokushima Prefecture, such as the early detection of diabetic nephropathy.
In the future, we plan to conduct research on a wide range of policy-related topics, including healthcare delivery systems, countermeasures for lifestyle-related diseases, the Community-Based Integrated Care System, and the Child and Child-Rearing Support System. We hope that the promotion of public health research and administration in Tokushima will lead to the realization of safer and more secure communities.
