A 32-year-old woman who was engaged in agriculture was injured by the Nagasaki atomic bomb and was admitted to the Omura Naval Hospital. Three days after the bombing, on September 11, she was admitted to the hospital in the fourth ward. On September 21, her erythrocyte sedimentation rate rose to about 100 mm per hour. No other indication was given and there were no articles recorded.
Immediately after the Nagasaki atomic bomb was dropped and exploded, the Nagasaki City Medical Association and other relief teams began medical relief activities from the area around the hypocenter. The main relief stations in the old city center of Nagasaki were the Shinkozen Elementary School relief station and the Katsuyama Elementary School relief station. The relief stations on the opposite shore were Inasa Elementary School, Mitsubishi Hospital (main hospital), and Goshinji Temple. In northern Nagasaki, a private house in Hiramune (now Nameshi 1-chome) was used as a relief station. In the surrounding area, the families of veteran military doctors were notably rescued.
Only an hour or two after the Nagasaki atomic bomb exploded, Nagasaki Medical College employees began treating the injured who had been exposed to the bomb in the hills behind Nagasaki Medical College Hospital. Four to five hours later, the first team of the Isahaya Naval Hospital rescue team began treating the injured who had been exposed to the bomb at Irabayashi Elementary School. A rescue team from the Omura Naval Hospital and a rescue team from the National Obama Clinic (Obama Town Rescue Team) also entered the hypocenter area of Nagasaki City and carried out rescue activities.
In Nagasaki City, dedicated relief efforts were carried out in and around the hypocenter immediately after the bombing. However, the scope of their activities was limited to a few areas. The arrival of relief teams was delayed under the worst possible conditions, with frequent air raid warnings and American fighter planes flying overhead. The start of full-scale medical relief activities was also delayed until August 10, the day after the Nagasaki atomic bomb was dropped. from August 10, relief teams from inside and outside Nagasaki Prefecture, including many Marine and Army relief teams and relief teams from various universities, arrived in the disaster area and were able to provide active relief. The organization of the relief units of the Imperial Japanese Navy and the Imperial Japanese Army gave priority to Nagasaki natives selected as officers and medics. It appears that soldiers from Nagasaki who worked under their command were also enlisted. The IJN and Japanese Army relief units mobilized to work in the devastated, bombed-out city of Nagasaki, university relief teams, and relief teams from inside and outside of Nagasaki Prefecture were engaged in relief efforts.
