It is epidemiologically known that atomic bomb radiation affects the human body for a long period of time and that the risk of cancer among the atomic bomb-exposed is high. Presently in Japan, there are approximately 320,000 individuals who were exposed to the atomic bombs. These people are aging and are at risk to many health problems. The provision of preventive health care as well as medical and welfare services is now the major issue.
