TY - JOUR PY - 2022// TI - Preventing the worst, recovering with resilience JO - Japan Medical Association journal A1 - Saeki, Soichiro SP - 533 EP - 534 VL - 5 IS - 4 N2 - On July 8, 2022, Shinzo Abe, the former Prime Minister of Japan, passed away. This tragedy may turn out to have a deep impact on public health throughout the world, not limited to Japan., According to the most recent Japanese government reports, Mr. Abe was murdered with a firearm. This could spark a new debate in the current global debate over gun control, with far-reaching consequences for public health around the world. Furthermore, extensive media coverage may harm the mental health of Japanese civilians, and such issues should be addressed in a fair manner., The Japanese have been strong against previous disasters and tragedies. It is hoped that Japan can build back a safe and resilient society for all.
