  • Title: [Report of International Medical Relief Activity for Haiti earthquake as a delegate of Japanese Red Cross Society].
    Author: Otsuka N.
    Journal: Masui; 2011 Dec; 60(12):1419-22. PubMed ID: 22256589.
    Abstract:
    The author joined the emergency health operation of the International Red Cross for Haiti earthquake as one of Japanese Red Cross delegates for about one month in May, 2010. Althought I was not expected to offer the skills and experiences as an anesthesiologist, but those of a general practicing, I learned many valuable things from seeing local people, especially about the characteristic diseases and symptoms after disasters caused by living in the camp which was not an ideal environment to be in so long. It is difficult to know much about such typical problems through our usual work as an anesthesiologist. If we want to join these kinds of mission, we have to have some extra knowledge for helping people after such disasters.
