There were stakeholder exchanges in the meeting coordinated by HGPI.. Project HOPE had sent medical volunteers to the areas affected by the disaster and HGPI had coordinated a collaborative effort with domestic agencies. Project HOPE and Medtronic foundation made a contribution to rebuild a community hospital in Yamada town and had raised 30 billion yen as a donation. The opinion exchange meeting was held as a celebration of the reconstruction of the hospital, nearly complete after three years from the disaster.
