Medical and Health Information Corner

　I want to know about my illness, but I get lost because I have a lot of books.…。

　It was a collection of useful materials in such a case.
　"Medical and Health Information Corner" on the 4th floor of Chuo-toshokan.

　You can read it at any time, from introductory books to specialized books related to illness, treatment, and health.
　First of all, here is the “Medical and Health Information Navi” section.

From introductory books to specialized books for medical professionals, we selected basic materials for each keyword.

References for medical treatment and prescription policies used by doctors and pharmacists, such as medical guidelines based on evidence (scientific evidence). Please make use of this to check treatment method and medicine you are taking.

You can also get information that cannot be understood by books alone, such as flyers and pamphlets for medical and health-related courses.

When you visit Municipal Central Library, we ask you to use the materials in the Medical and Health Information Corner inside the building so that you can always check it out. If you would like to borrow, please ask at the counter as we will check if there are any materials that can be borrowed.
You can also search from the "user search machine" in the library or "Yokohama City Library online catalog (external site)".
