With the global spread and prolonged transmission of the new coronavirus, the response capacity of doctors, nurses, medical engineers, and other medical personnel responsible for treating critically ill patients or those at risk is low in developing countries, and intensive care facilities (ICU) capable of isolating infected patients and providing intensive care are also in short supply. Against this backdrop, the Japanese government launched the “Information Collection and Confirmation Survey on Remote ICU Support during Infectious Disease Outbreaks” in December 2020 to investigate ICU support needs in the coronary disaster, and to examine ways to provide remote-based technical cooperation under physical restrictions on movement and contact in the COVID-19 expansion. The cooperation was based on the study of the ICU support needs in the Corona disaster. This cooperation will link target hospitals in five countries (Indonesia, Mexico, Palau, Tonga, and Senegal) with Japanese intensive care physicians and nurses via a remote ICU communication system to provide training and technical advice on intensive care medicine between doctors and between nurses and doctors and between nurses and nurses, etc., at a distance, as well as to provide technical advice and training on the use of remote technology. The program contributes to the strengthening of the intensive care field and health system in the target hospitals by providing training and technical advice on intensive care medicine between doctors and nurses, and by temporarily providing medical facilities and equipment in intensive care units to effectively carry out such training and advice.
