Overview

○Approximately 1,500 atomic bomb survivors reside in South Korea, and as they continue to age, we were able to disseminate the latest knowledge on medical care for radiation exposure. This aims to ensure that survivors can access appropriate medical care more routinely and with greater peace of mind.

 

○Participants shared positive feedback, including comments such as:

"It was beneficial to obtain information regarding atomic bomb survivors." "A significant learning point was realizing that vague fears about radiation exposure can be dispelled by sufficient research findings." "It was highly beneficial to learn about the diverse research conducted after radiation accidents in Japan." "I pay my respects to the passion that prepares for a better future, building upon past experiences.
