Promoting Medical Information Management Support Using Japanese Knowledge for Earthquake Damage in Vanuatu | News / PR

Posted on 2024-12-272025-02-04 by Editor in Chief

In response to the earthquake damage that occurred in the Republic of Vanuatu on Friday, December 17 (local time), JICA will begin providing assistance for on-site medical information management at the request of the government of Vanuatu.

In disaster-stricken areas, with numerous medical facilities and support teams providing medical care, information on patient attributes, diseases, and their relationship to the disaster is often collected in different formats and items, making it difficult to get a complete picture and provide efficient medical services.

In order to address these issues in the field, this support utilizes an international standard disaster medical information management method called Minimum Data Set (MDS), which was developed from the experience of Japan’s Japan Disaster Relief (JDR) teams, to accurately identify trends in medical needs and changes in phases, while providing necessary medical services in an efficient and effective manner. This is to enable the efficient and effective provision of necessary medical services while accurately identifying trends and changes in medical needs and phases.

In order to accelerate remote support immediately after the earthquake in Vanuatu, doctors registered with JDR and JDR secretariat staff will be dispatched to Vanuatu on December 25 and 26 to survey the situation and support activities there.

MDS has been used in the past for the Turkey earthquake (2023) and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, Palestine, and it is expected that this wealth of disaster response knowledge from Japan will be utilized.
