Isesaki City Mental Health Center. To be a psychiatric care base in times of disaster.

On the 4th, the prefecture announced that it had designated the Prefectural Mental Health Center in Isesaki City as a "Prefectural Disaster Base Psychiatric Hospital" that will provide necessary psychiatric care even in times of disaster. It will accept patients in the disaster-stricken areas who require psychiatric care 24 hours a day. This is the first time such a designation has been made in the prefecture. Due to issues with accepting patients following the Great East Japan Earthquake and the Kumamoto Earthquake, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare is calling for the establishment of at least one disaster base psychiatric hospital in each prefecture.
