Fukushima health management survey

The Fukushima Health Management Survey is a long-term program launched after the 2011 nuclear accident to monitor the health of residents in Fukushima Prefecture. It includes regular health checkups, including radiation exposure assessments, and mental health support. The goal is to detect potential health effects early, provide appropriate care, and gather data to understand the accident’s impact on public health. The survey helps ensure residents receive necessary medical attention and informs safety guidelines for future incidents.
