The Special Committee for Measures Against Transition from Pediatric to Adult Health Care of the Japanese Society of Neurology, which consists of child and adult neurologists, started to tackle the issues of pediatric to adult health care transition for patients with neurological disease in July 2020. The Committee held a workshop with a theme of “cooperation between child and adult neurologists,” which is a critical issue in the pediatric to adult health care transition. To solve the many problems in the pediatric to adult health care transition, it is crucial that child and adult neurologists and primary care physicians cooperate on the following issues: preparing child neurologists for the transition, encouraging adult neurologists to study child neurology, promoting the formation of multidisciplinary teams, improving the medical system and medical fees, appealing to governmental agencies for issues of community health care and welfare services.
