Dear Professor Kanakura,
I am very sorry to hear the tragic news of earthquake and nuclear radiation accidents in Japan.
On behalf of the members of The Hematology Society of Taiwan, I would like to send our deepest sympathy to the Japanese victims.
Please do not hesitate to let us know if there is anything we can do to help for the people in the earthquake and tsunami regions.
Pray For Japan!
Best Wishes,



Tzeon-Jye Chiou, M.D.

Dear Dr Chiou,
President, The Hematology Society of Taiwan
Thank you for your very kind e-mail. Terrible Earthquake of magnitude 9 was occurred at the East-North part of Japan. Because I personally live in Kobe City (Hyogo Prefecture) located at West Japan, my family and colleagues are fine.
Japanese Society of Hematology (JSH) investigated the hospitals and doctors who are willing to accept the treatment of victims with hematological diseases and radiation victims. To the public, the list of the hospitals is opened at JSH home page.
Further, many doctors go to the earthquake regions to help the Japanese victims. Although we have been spending sad days, we will try to and have to endure and overcome this tragedy.
Thank you once again for your encouragement and support, and I am looking forward to seeing you at the annual meeting of The Hematology Society of Taiwan.

Sincerely yours,

Yuzuru Kanakura
President of JSH
