“I lost everything. I just did not want to live anymore”. It was the voice of a disaster victim reported in a newspaper article. It was a call for action by TDLC, who leads GDLN Asia Pacific program development. With its knowledge and experience in post-disaster measures, Japan could make a unique contribution. Our distance learning course on disaster nursing will be held on February 17 and 18.
