メッセージ

2000年から長崎大学病院の総合診療科に従事してきましたが，2004年からは主に長崎県の離島で地域医療教育と地域疫学研究，そしてへき地医療支援に取り組んでいます。日本では社会の急速な高齢化に伴って疾病構造が変化し，がん，心臓病，脳卒中，糖尿病等の生活習慣病が増加しています。さらに，患者の病態が慢性化・複雑化し，医療やケアに対するニーズが多様化してきています。これからは地域の中で医療と介護の連携をさらに進め，地域包括ケアサービスを一体的に提供する体制作りが重要になります。日本の医療と介護システムの制度にいて理解してもらい，よりよい高齢者医療と地域包括ケアシステムについて考えてみたいと思います。
