いわき市内に避難している浪江町民の健康調査支援事業Health Interview Survey and Health Assistance for People Evacuated from Namie Town to Iwaki City
Radiation effects of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant Accident forced the evacuation of the entire population of Namie Town. The residents have fled to many places within and outside Fukushima Prefecture including Iwaki City, where, in particular, the majority of the Namie evacuees live in rent-free housing that is scattered over the large city; this has made it difficult for the Namie municipality to deliver adequate public/healthcare services to the former residents. Besides, in such surroundings, the Namie evacuees were prone to live in social isolation because there are few community venues for them to assemble for socializing. Therefore, the Japanese Red Cross Society and the Japanese Red Cross College of Nursing jointly undertook the “Health Interview Survey and Health Assistance for People Evacuated from Namie Town to Iwaki City” project in 2012. This webpage features the activities carried out from October 2012 through March 2017.
