| [ Summary ] | In the year 2000, a Social Insurance for Elderly' care system was established in Japan. Various services have been utilized for senior citizens, over 65 years old. Nevertheless, for dialysis patients, this service might be said to be incomplete. Issues, such as pick up services for dialysis units, and transient admission to a suitable clinic, should be settled as soon as possible. | |
