SENDAI, Nov. 12, 2013 (Immediate Release)-Tohoku Medical Megabank Organization (ToMMo), Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan, are so sorry to know that Philippines has suffered the severe natural disaster by Typhoon Haiyan last Friday.

ToMMo prays for the victims of the typhoon and sincerely hope that the people wounded by the Typhoon will be rescued smoothly. We also hope that all of the local hospitals and medical practitioners in Philippine can get over many challenges after the sudden catastrophic event from nature.

Two year and eight months has passed since the Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11 in 2011. Since February 1st in 2012, ToMMo has been conducting the long-term comprehensive health investigations in the tsunami-affected area.
