Abstract
In response to the release of radioactive materials and evacuation of residents after the Tokyo Electric Power Company's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident, caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake, the Fukushima Health Management Survey (FHMS) began in June of 2011. This survey aims to provide long-term follow-up of the physical and mental health of Fukushima residents and to maintain and improve their health for the future. Every year since 2019, Fukushima Medical University (FMU) has organized the FHMS International Symposium to share survey results with people in Fukushima Prefecture and beyond. The fifth annual symposium convened at FMU's Ekimae Campus on Saturday, 4 March 2023, with the theme, "Thinking Together about Health, Life and our Future in Fukushima."
