The “White Paper on Social Prescribing,” written in part by Naoki Kondo and Daisuke Nishioka of our department, has been published.
Some of the people who visit medical institutions have various social issues.
Social prescribing” has been attracting attention as an approach to addressing such issues.
This white paper examines how “social prescriptions” can be tailored to the actual situation in Japan.
It is rich in data and illustrations. We hope you will find it useful.
