PHJ’s East Japan Disaster Reconstruction Support activities are implemented mainly at Kesennuma City, Miyagi Prefecture. In cooperation of the kesennuma Medical Association (KMA), PHJ surveyed the requirements of medical equipment and office fixtures by the medical facilities that suffered serious damages at the March 11 disaster.
On February 8 and 9, PHJ President Kimura and staff Yokoo visited KMA to
discuss the second lot donation of the medical equipment following the first lot donated in December 2011.
The KMA presented PHJ the latest list of requirements from 20 clinics and welfare facilities. Eleven months have passed since the disaster and the requirements of clinics are changing. PHJ will try its best to meet the changing
needs with the cooperation of member companies, many of them being medical equipment suppliers.
PHJ representatives also participated in the donation ceremony of medical equipment and books from the Hilton in the Community Foundation (Hilton Worldwide’s welfare foundation) to Sasaki Pediatric Clinic.
The ceremony was held at the clinic with the presence of the Hilton Worldwide representative and Edelman Japan representative coordinating the donation.
The list of donation was handed to Dr. Sasaki from the Hilton representative.

When Dr. Sasaki’s residence and clinic were washed away by tsunami, the doctor was thinking of giving up his practice. Before the disaster, there were three children’s clinics in the city. One clinic was closed by the disaster. Considering the future of the children who would be the next leaders of the city, Dr. Sasaki decided to reopen his clinic. We were truly impressed with his sense of responsibility and commitment to the society.
At the clinic, patient children used to wait for the medical service on the floor mats. The nurses are pleased that, with the donation from the Hilton Foundation, the patients will be able to use a sofa.
At the Kesennuma City, debris along streets are removed. Now the city is starting to remove completely or partially destroyed buildings but there is not a
blue print yet. PHJ staff felt that it is a long way to go.
