Kitasato University Medical Center
We launched KMC Osteoporosis Working Group in July 2024 in view of the current lack of treatment for osteoporosis patients.
The working group began by working on secondary fracture prevention in patients with proximal femur fractures. Patients are evaluated for osteoporosis during hospitalization. Therapeutic drugs are determined during hospitalization and guidance is provided by a pharmacist. In addition, we provide patient guidance on osteoporosis through nutrition and rehabilitation. In the future, we plan to engage in educational activities for the local community.
