Assistance
International Disaster Relief
The international disaster relief project is a project to provide relief for natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, typhoons, and infectious disease pandemics in developing countries, as well as relief for man-made disasters not caused by conflict.
Nagasaki University cooperates with this project by dispatching medical teams to provide emergency medical care and public health and by administering and dispatching infectious disease control teams to handle infectious disease control.
