IWAKI, Fukushima -- Doctors and hospital workers left behind a total of 82 patients at a hospital near the damaged nuclear plant in Fukushima Prefecture out of fear of exposure to radiation while waiting for a rescue team to arrive.
Seven of the 82 elderly, bedridden patients found abandoned at Futaba Hospital in Okuma, Fukushima Prefecture -- located within 10 kilometers to the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant damaged by the March 11 deadly earthquake -- died of unknown causes after they were transferred to a refugee shelter in the prefectural city of Iwaki, the prefectural disaster headquarters announced on March 17.
"It's true that we left them," hospital director Ichiro Suzuki told the Mainichi.
Another 14 senior patients, who were transferred earlier from the hospital to a high school in the city, have also died of unknown causes.
According to officials, members of the Ground Self-Defense Force (GSDF) began transporting patients still remaining at hospitals and other facilities near the nuclear plant on March 14, following the central government's order to evacuate the area to avoid radiation risks. There were some 300 patients remaining at Futaba Hospital.
When the GSDF members finished transporting the first group of patients and returned to the hospital, hospital workers, including the director, had already gone, leaving a total of 82 bedridden elderly patients unattended.
Suzuki said he and three other hospital workers had waited for the GSDF members to return to the hospital with around 90 patients. However, when the rescue team did not come back to the hospital by night, one worker suggested they flee without the patients, saying, "This is it. We must go." The workers then left the hospital and headed to a neighboring village.
The hospital director said he intended to go back to the hospital with other GSDF members he met at the village, but he had to give up the plan as the government had urged those living within 20 to 30 kilometers from the nuclear accident site to stay indoors. GSDF members rescued the 82 individuals, but seven of them later died at a refugee shelter.
"The patients were in poor health and they were forced to stay at the hospital with no water and electricity for a long time. They became even weaker after being moved from one place to another," Suzuki said.
