Regarding the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare requesting nursing universities nationwide to dispatch graduate students and teachers with a license as nurses to the medical field, Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Hagita said that it is meaningful for those who wish to participate. , The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology also expressed its intention to cooperate.
The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has licensed nurses to about 280 nursing universities nationwide, as medical institutions in various regions are running out of nurses due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection and are beginning to interfere with normal medical care. We are requesting that graduate students and faculty members who have the same status be dispatched to the medical field.
Regarding this, Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Hagita said at a press conference after the Cabinet meeting, "It is meaningful that graduate students and faculty members who wish to participate are connected to places in need of support in a situation where it is becoming difficult to maintain the medical supply system. We made the registration destinations of applicants known, "he said, and expressed his intention to cooperate with the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology.
On top of that, "Dispatch is not compulsory, and I think that it is not only a minus to make use of the experience learned on the premise of standing in the field. It is an emergency as long as it does not interfere with the class. I would like everyone with aspirations to help. "
