"I shall not return to my native home if I do not achieve my objective."

This is the phrase Dr. Hideyo Noguchi inscribed on the pillar of his parents’ home when he decided to come up to Tokyo.
Seisaku Noguchi (Dr. Noguchi’s childhood name) who got his left hand burned seriously at the age of 1 got to know medical wonderfulness, after undergoing Dr. Kanae Watanabe's operation at the age of 15, and he aspired after the professional medical career.
A young man Seisaku who changed his name in “ Hiedyo “ at the age of 21 " was supported by many people, came to play active role in the world, and left many results.
His great efforts and courage dedication to medical studies are the origin of Hideyo Noguchi Africa Prize.
