Presented at the WADEM 2023 Congress in Ireland
The World Association for Disaster and Emergency Medicine (WADEM) conference, held in Ireland after a four-year gap, was a significant event. Professor Harada presented two oral presentations and delivered a speech as an ambassador for the next conference in Tokyo in 2025.
Participating in this global gathering of disaster experts allowed for fruitful discussions on future-oriented disaster response strategies. However, the greatest reward was reuniting with friends from various countries whom I hadn’t seen in person since 2019, as our interactions had been limited to online platforms.
