abstract="OBJECTIVE: To describe humanitarian aid following the 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan. SETTING: A field hospital deployed in a small Japanese coastal village devastated by a major tsunami. PATIENTS: Thousands of Japanese refugees with minimal access to medical care. RESULTS: After well-coordinated diplomatic efforts, our medical delegation was the first foreign team to deploy in Japan. Our facility served as a regional referral center for specialized medical treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Following major disasters, even highly modernized countries will face an urgent surge in the need of medical resources. These situations emphasize the need for global responsibility to provide assistance.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
