    Abstract:
    We conducted a hospital based investigation of the actual conditions of medical care at schools. There were the seventy-four children in need of some type of medical care. These children had severe handicaps both mentally and physically. The suction of oral secretions and tube feeding are the two main problems in medical care in school. Most of them were given this medical care by their mothers. From the point of view of children's independence and mother's respite in caring, medical care in school could be provided by the school teachers. The Ministry of Education has made progress in the study of medical care practice. Our team attempted to develop a strategy for the practice of medical care in our prefecture.
