Save lives. Nurture emergency life-saving technicians

Foundation forAmbulance Service Development

Outline of the Foundation
OUTLINEThe Foundation for Ambulance Service Development was established in May 1991, inresponse to the establishment of the Emergency Life-Saving Technician's Law, which wasenacted in April 1991 in order to enhance the prehospital care services, throughcombination of funds allocated by all 47 prefectures of Japan for the purpose of nurturing
emergency life-saving technicians who belong to fire services.
Ambulance services performed by the fire services throughout Japan are important
services provided by the governments, which are essential to people residing in Japan,
and are part of the prehospital care provided to patients. There is strong demand for its
enhancement and advancement to make sure that the same levels of advanced, immediate,and dedicated services are available to anybody anywhere in Japan.
To meet the demand, this Foundation focuses on systematic promotion for nurturing of
emergency life-saving technicians, and performs ambulance service-related research andinvestigation services, first-aid treatment-related awareness building support projects
initiated by local authorities, and ambulance fundraising projects supported by donations
from local communities.

Additionally, along with the expansion of the emergency life-saving treatment capabilities that now allow the emergency lifesaving technicians to perform their duties, additional training courses related to drug administration were provided during theperiod from fiscal year 2006 to fiscal year 2013.
