Dear Supporters,
Humanitarian Medical Assistance (HuMA) is a non-profit volunteer organization specializing in disaster relief. We are based in Tokyo, Japan and provide medical support globally with our approximately 460 volunteer members of experienced physicians, nurses and logisticians in this specialized field.
Our relief services and contributions to disaster-stricken countries were recognized by receiving the first SAFAR Award (Award of Excellence in Disaster Management) at the World Congress on Disaster and Emergency Medicine in 2007.
HuMA’s mission has been to provide immediate emergency relief and support for the comprehensive medical recovery of the distressed areas in many countries. Our operation also focuses on training our member volunteers to become better-qualified experts dispatched to extend essential support to disaster victims.
We hope to receive the acceptance and cooperation of many people for the objectives of our mission, and we humbly ask our friends and colleagues for financial aid to support our efforts. There is no frequency. Your donation will be used carefully for our projects and will surely be a source of encouragement for the affected populations around the world.
Our current domestic activity is conducted in Noto region in Ishikawa prefecture. In September 2024, flooding occurred in the city of Suzu, which was affected by the Noto Peninsula earthquake in January, and HuMA decided to dispatch a survey team to Suzu City. The team has been visiting evacuation centers and providing assistance.
*Noto Earthquake – We provided Health and Medical Assistance to the Victims of the Earthquake in Noto region. We had dispatched medical teams from January to the end of May, 2024 to the area.
Another domestic activity is to support for workers in the Osaka Corona Critical Care Center as a temporary medical facility to provide treatment and nursing care to critically ill patients. HuMA is dispatching nurses to the site when they need.
If you would like to help us with our efforts to provide relief to meet the ongoing need of those affected by the unprecedented event, we encourage you to check the following PayPal or bank transfer instructions.
Thank you in advance for your support and friendship.
Tatsuro KAI, MD
