Information for medical institutions

　Languages that are rarely used, so-called rare languages, unlike major languages, may not be able to provide interpreter services by private businesses. For the purpose of providing remote interpreting services for rare languages that are difficult to secure, we are implementing the "Remote Interpretation Service Business for Rare Languages".

　The government has implemented a “night / holiday one-stop window project that contributes to foreign correspondence at medical institutions” in order to supplement the efforts of prefectures to support foreign patients at medical institutions.

　It is a multilingual tool for the smooth acceptance of foreign patients, and is provided to medical institutions in Japan. Please use it according to your needs.

　"Study on improving the environment for accepting foreign patients" by the 2018 Health and Welfare Administration Promotion Survey Project Subsidy (Policy Science Comprehensive Research Project (Policy Science Promotion Research Project)) (Yuko Kitagawa, Keio University Hospital Director, School of Medicine (Professor of General / Gastroenterology)) ), The information necessary for establishing a system for accepting foreign patients was organized, and a "Manual for Medical Institutions for Accepting Foreign Patients for Accepting Foreign Patients for Accepting Foreign Patients" was prepared.

　In Yokohama City Local Medical Cooperative Center, we provide information on nearby medical institutions to citizens without family doctors by telephone.

　A multilingual medical questionnaire is posted so that foreigners can tell their symptoms in their native language when they get sick or injured.

　JMIP is a system that evaluates the system for accepting foreign patients, such as providing medical guidance in multiple languages and responding to different cultures and religions, for medical institutions in Japan.
