#Stories about children with sickness (#小さな命をみつめて)
Yomiuri TV has been dedicating our efforts to cover stories about children with sickness. We hope that our efforts contribute to a better environment for those children as well as to further the awareness of child medicine in Japan. We have created English subtitles to reach more people in the world. We hope to continue to be a helping hand for the children with sicknesses and their families to enhance their quality of life. Acknowledgment should be given to the two translators; Mr. Takehiro Hashimoto and Mr. Sean Bradley for their dedication.
