Medical treatment system in English

The number of hospital admissions by foreigners who do not speak Japanese is increasing.

(American, Irish, Indian, Chinese, Filipino, Vietnamese, etc.)

Although we are not fluent in English, we will do our best to support your treatment with our staff who are interested in English and with translation equipment.

We hold team training sessions with native English speakers.

We have established a specialized team within the hospital to prepare for the treatment of patients who cannot speak Japanese, which is expected to increase in the future. (psychiatrist, nurse, laboratory technician, social worker, and administrative staff).

We are striving to improve our ability to respond to such patients by holding team training sessions with a native English speaker (Monday, November 16th, 2020).
