Hiroshima International Council for Health Care of the Radiation-exposed

We express our heartfelt congratulations to the Japan Confederation of A- and H-Bomb Sufferers Organizations (Nihon Hidankyo) on being awarded the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize.

The actions of the Hibakusha (A-bomb survivors), who know firsthand the tragedy of the atomic bombings and are driven by a strong desire never to repeat the same mistakes again, have become a powerful source of strength for advocating the abolition of nuclear weapons. We sincerely admire to all of you for your continued efforts to appeal for world peace.

Hiroshima International Council for Health Care of the Radiation-exposed (HICARE) has been disseminating to the world through training programs and public lectures the research results on radiation injury and the experiences of medical care for A-bomb survivors that have been accumulated based on the precious sacrifices of the A-bomb survivors.

HICARE will continue to contribute to world peace by promoting international cooperation in the field of medical care for radiation-exposed people around the world, in line with the desires of Hibakusha.
