Abstract

Advances in medical care have led to improved survival of pediatric patients with severe neurological disorders into adulthood. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a support system for an effective transition from pediatric to adult healthcare. In 2020, the Japanese Society of Neurology, which includes members from the Japanese Society of Pediatric Neurology, established The Special Committee for Measures Against Transition from Pediatric to Adult Health Care to achieve this objective. This article outlines the challenges associated with the transition from pediatric to adult healthcare that neurologists should consider and the recent activities of The Special Committee for Measures Against Transition from Pediatric to Adult Health Care of the Japanese Society of Neurology.
