A Brazilian doctor visiting Hiroshima to learn about Japanese atomic bomb survivors listened to the experiences of the survivors on Tuesday.
Three Brazilian doctors visited to learn about A-bomb medical treatment in Japan. As part of their training on the 24th, they listened to the A-bomb Museum to hear the experiences of A-bomb survivor Takashi Teramoto (85).
Teramoto told her about her 5th grade elementary school student who had been exposed to a bomb at her home, one kilometer from the hypocenter and lost her mother, and said, "I haven't seen any of my mother since the moment she flashed. I can't forget it. "
He reported that there were many people who suffered aftereffects almost 75 years after the war.
Dr. Luis Oyagawa said, "I'm sad. I felt the dread of nuclear weapons and the atomic bomb."
After the war, many people migrated from Hiroshima to Brazil following the post-war immigration policy, and around 90 A-bomb survivors still live today.
After a long period of activity by A-bomb survivors, in April last year, survivors were able to receive medical examinations at the same time as in Japan, and doctors went through a three-week training program to gain access to local medical care. And help improve it.
The prefecture's chief, Takeshi Yawata A-bomb victim support section, said, "I would like to continue providing support as a prefecture with the hometown that sent out the immigrants."
