Medical and Health Information Corner

　I want to know about illness, but there are so many books that I get lost.…。

　In such a case, we have collected useful materials.
　The "Medical and Health Information Corner" on the 4th floor of Chuo-toshokan.

　You can browse everything from introductory books on illness, treatment, and health to specialized books at any time.
　First of all, the “Medical and Health Information Navigation” section starts here.

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

We have prepared reference books on medical treatment and prescription policies used by doctors and pharmacists, such as medical guidelines based on evidence (scientific basis). Please use this to check the treatment method and the medicine you are taking.

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

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