Feedback:

[Dr. Jae-Pil LEE]
Japanese culture of recording, systematic research and support on A-bomb survivors were very impressive. I think it is important to provide our Korean patients with efficient information we acquired through HICARE training.
Regrettably, we could not meet and talk with Japanese A-bomb survivors this time.It would also be wonderful if we could have more time to communicate with doctors who gave us lectures.
I hope Japan and Korea will work together for the mutual understanding in the future.

[Dr.Seong-Ki AHN]
I did not know much about A-bomb disasters until I came to Japan. Through HICARE training, I was so impressed with the rebuilding of Hiroshima after bombing, and the completed management of A-bomb survivors, various superior systems constructed through researches to handle with emergency radiation exposure accidents and so on, and Japanese people’s efforts to further improve these systems.
I’ll commit myself to support our patients in Korea to solve any problems causing inconveniences in their medical care.

[Dr. Kwan-Hee LEE]
As a fellow doctor, I envied with the facilities and equipment (an efficient flow of the emergency room, ICU facilities, hospital rooms in no need of attendant, number of nurses, high standard equipment, etc.) of the Hiroshima University Hospital.
Particularly, we were so much grateful to doctors who gave us passionate lectures regardless of age and positions. We really respect them because they gave us lectures by themselves (not asking their young colleagues) though they were very busy.
I think the training will be much valuable for future trainees, if there would be more chances to actually visit hospitals and medical facilities.
