A medical team from Hiroshima, Japan, will be in Honolulu July 5 and 6 to provide free, comprehensive medical examinations to atomic bomb survivors living in Hawaii.
The medical team is comprised of doctors from Hiroshima and representatives from the atomic bomb survivors affairs offices of the Hiroshima Prefectural and Nagaski Prefectural governments. The prefectural government representatives can provide information about seeking assistance in Japan for atomic bomb exposure-related concerns. Confidentiality is assured to all participants.
The American Society of Hiroshima-Nagasaki A-Bomb Survivors Hawaii Chapter is coordinating the visit and medical exams during their visit. The society is interested in contacting atomic bomb survivors who have never participated in any of the exams offered in Hawaii.
Approximately 100 identified atomic bomb survivors live in Hawaii, many of whom are U.S. citizens and were born in Hawaii or the mainland.
All eligible survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are encouraged to participate. Those eligible to participate are legally defined in Japan as people who were within the city limits when the bombs fell, went into the city limits after the bombs fell, came in contact with other survivors while caring for them, or were present at the bombing as an “in utero” baby.
