Hiyane quit his job and entered medical school. When the big earthquake hit El Salvador this past January, Dr. Hiyane did not hesitate to volunteer his services. El Salvador he observed many victims with respiratory problems caused by the dust stirred up by the earthquake. He also saw a lot of children suffering from malnutrition. But we were very lucky not to have a malaria or cholera outbreak.
Japan has a bad reputation for throwing money at relief missions, but providing very few personnel.
Hiyane was sent for only short period of time. I was able to go thanks to my understanding colleagues. After his return, another massive quake has occurred in India. Considering the scale of the earthquake, outside assistance is even more critical for India. All Rights Reserved.
