On Wednesday, September 9, 2026, Hiromi Sanada, President of Ishikawa Prefectural Nursing University, appeared on NHK WORLD-JAPAN’s “Direct Talk.”

The episode, titled “Nurturing Well-Being for Everyone,” introduced audiences around the world to President Sanada’s research and activities, including her work in Bio-engineering Nursing and pressure injury care, as well as her vision for the future of nursing.

President Sanada has long played a leading role in advancing nursing science and developing innovative nursing technologies. In 2025, her contributions were recognized by the Florence Nightingale International Foundation.

President Sanada also participates in seminars held by our Joint Research Course in Well-Being Nursing, where she provides graduate students with valuable guidance on their research from a wide range of perspectives. This episode offers a valuable opportunity to learn about her longstanding commitment to nursing and her vision for the future of nursing in supporting “well-being for everyone.”

Although the initial broadcast has ended, the program is available to watch in Japan and around the world on the NHK WORLD-JAPAN “Direct Talk” website.

We hope you will take a look!
