Comments:
[Dr. Kim Dong-Hoon]
Although I did not have enough knowledge in this area, I began to realize that not only Japanese people but also Korean people were exposed to radiation and that many of the Korean A-bomb survivors live in a certain area in Korea. Since I have learned about these people, I am determined to provide them with medical support hereafter.
