Feedback:

This training program was so excellent and valuable that I was able to deepen my expertise concerning medical examinations and the latest diagnosis technology, as well as my academic knowledge. I hope that this training will continue to be conducted and a framework of exchange between specialists in Japan and Belarus will be established.

Activities in Her Own Country:

I am engaged in medical examination of the thyroids of residents in regions polluted after the Chernobyl nuclear accident as a doctor of the Red Cross Mobile Diagnostic Laboratory team. Therefore, I would like to make the best use of the knowledge and valuable experience of medical professionals who have treated A-bomb survivors.
