NASHIM-Nagasaki Association for Hibakusha's Medical Care

Recommendation of Candidates for the 8th Nagasaki Dr. Nagai Peace Memorial Prize

This summer marks the 64th anniversary since the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki witnessed the terrible devastation of the atomic bomb. Since then, both Hiroshima and Nagasaki have continued with great effort to work towards achieving world peace and to make sure that such a tragedy does not occur again.

However, looking at the world today, we can see that a large number of people have become victims of radiation exposure as a result of various incidents such as the Chernobyl disaster and exposure to radiation from nuclear test sites over a long period of time.

Nagasaki Association for Hibakushas' Medical Care (NASHIM) was established for the benefit of overseas atomic bomb survivors and also to assist victims of radiation-related incidents all around the world. We at NASHIM use our expertise in the treatment of atomic bomb survivors to engage in international cooperation.

The ‘Nagasaki Dr. Nagai Peace Memorial Prize’ was set up, as part of our activities at NASHIM, in 1995 which marked the 50th anniversary of the atomic bombing in Nagasaki. This prize honors the achievements of Dr Takashi Nagai, who dedicated himself to helping victims of the atomic bomb, despite his own serious injuries.

This award was introduced with a view to continue the spirit of Dr Takashi Nagai’s high aspirations of peace. We hope that the award can help to foster development in the medical treatment for victims of radiation exposure all over the world and reward those who have made significant contributions in this field of work.

This year, for the award ceremony of the 8th Nagasaki Dr. Nagai Peace Memorial Prize, we are currently accepting nominations of eminent scholars and organizations from all around the world.

We would appreciate it if you could distribute the attached information to the relevant bodies and concerned organizations.
