Fukuoka Prefecture Establishes a Speedy and Fit-for-purpose Medicine Distribution System for Disaster Evacuees
When a disaster occurs, social infrastructure may be disrupted and the function of local pharmacies may grind to a halt. In disaster-stricken areas, it is necessary to secure a medicine distribution system for evacuees with chronic diseases.
To address this challenge, with the support of Fukuoka Prefecture, the Fukuoka Pharmaceutical Association has introduced an easy-to-deploy, disaster-response medicine distribution vehicle in which medicines can be prepared like pharmacies.
In the event of a disaster, at the request of the Prefecture, this vehicle, along with pharmacists from the Association and medicines on board, will be dispatched to the stricken area to provide medication at evacuation shelters and other venues.
Fukuoka Prefecture will continue to develop a speedy and fit-for-purpose medicine distribution system.
