• Being a district municipality, facilities for patients, their families, as well as the general public to obtain medical information are scarce. Nikko Memorial Hospital has, to date, tried various media in order to provide health information to the area's citizens. With regard to medical information, it has been difficult because of specialization and difficult technical terms. Due to the wide spread use of "informed consent", making information available has become an important topic. The establishment of the Health Information Library was based upon two factors. The right of the patient and family to know about their condition and at the same time, a feeling of self responsibility regarding their health and the treatment of their illness. The library is operated by volunteers with support of the hospital staff including doctors, nurses, pharmacists, social workers, etc. Discussed here are the activities of the Health Information Library after a five month period of operation.
