In the week ending on the 8th of this month, there were 7,558 "difficult to transport" cases where emergency patients could not be accepted immediately, an increase of 400 from the previous week and a record high for the third consecutive week. However, I understood from the summary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications Fire and Disaster Management Agency.
The Fire and Disaster Management Agency of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications considers cases in which hospitals were contacted four or more times before the patient's destination was decided as "cases where transportation is difficult", and 52 fire departments nationwide, including the fire department in the prefectural capital. Based on the reports, we compile them every week.
There were 7,558 cases in the week ending on the 8th of this month, an increase of 400 cases from the previous week, which was the highest number, and a record high for the third consecutive week.
