On February 2021, 2, the University of Occupational and Environmental Health announced that it would launch a crowdfunding business to support cancer patients nationwide awaiting surgery in Corona.
Currently, due to the spread of coronavirus infection, there are many cases nationwide affecting treatment such as postponement of surgery.Among them, the most serious problems are the suspension or restriction of all outpatient visits / hospitalizations, the refraining of consultations by the patients themselves, and the accompanying "delay in diagnosis / treatment", which greatly limits the medical practice of patients with general illnesses. , There is concern that the condition will worsen.
Even if perfect surgery is performed after the time of postponement of surgery, complications and recurrence of cancer cannot be eliminated.However, if "preparation for the patient's own surgery" such as exercise, nutritional support, and mental care is started before surgery, not only the postoperative recovery will be quicker, but also complications will be reduced, and the long-term prognosis (survival) will be reduced. It has been found that the rate) also improves.This kind of preparation for the patient's own surgery is called "prehabilitation", and it is becoming more and more important especially in the recent major changes in the medical system.
Therefore, the University of Occupational and Environmental Health has created a free-to-read "pre-habilitation" guidebook and video so that patients who are preparing for cancer surgery nationwide can work on pre-habilitation at home by soliciting support through a crowdfunding business. I decided to do it.The target amount is 2,200,000 yen, and donations will be solicited until 3:31 pm on Wednesday, March 11st.
