The need for emergency transportation jumped 50% between 1996 and 2006, and 108% for the elderly. One solution, Kondo says, is to increase the number of doctors, which, given the fierce competition for medical school slots in Japan, will take time despite the fact that Japan has fewer doctors and nurses than the average developed...
