Dear Friends and Colleagues,

My colleagues and I’ve been at the forefront of taking care of patients affected by Coronavirus, both in the community as well as in hospitals.

We are making small, but positive strides in saving lives. More than 2,200 patients have been discharged back to home just from my hospital. Many potential breakthrough treatments are being tried.

As the Japanese Medical Society of America, we’re sharing our most current experience with our colleagues in Japan and Japanese communities across the world to help them cope with this pandemic. In addition to our posts, please see below links to some of recent news media reports.
