Tokyo Metropolitan Government, body which administers the special wards, cities, towns and villages that constitute part ot the Tokyo Metropolis with a population closing in on 14 million living within its boundaries, has launched a new medical information portal for international visitors and expats.
The Tokyo Medical Information Site for International visitors and non - Japanese speakers residents aims to help them to navigate the city's healthcare system more easily finding a list of detailed information they need.
Sometimes international visitors but also resident expats experience difficulties finding the right specialist for their symptoms or locating a facility that offers foreign - language support and they may also struggle to understand the diffrerences between Japan's healthcare system and that of their home country.
To address these issues, the new centralized portal provides non - Japanese speakers with essential medical information in one convenient place, so they can seek care with confidence when they are not feeling well and looking for medical assistance.
The Tokyo Medical Information Site for International Tourists and expats non - Japanese speakers include some relevant points as :
• Finding medical facility - Tools to search for hospitals and clinics in Tokyo that can accommodate non – Japanese speakers.
• Receiving care - Step by step instructions on what to do when visiting a medical facility in Japan, along with an introduction to the country's healthcare system, public health insurance and free access system allowing patients to freely choose a medical institution.
• Consultation - Contact information for multilingual support in case of medical concerns or emergencies.
