Tokyo
Medical Assistance
Healthcare
is always of major concern no matter
where you are, but it becomes even
more so if you are in a foreign
land. You never know when you might
need medical care, and whether the
right assistance is available in
a language that is understood by
the host country. But you need not
worry about this when in Tokyo,
because Tokyo has one of the best
medical assistance available in
the world and English is largely
understood and spoken by the medical
staff.
Given
below are some of the medical service
providers in Tokyo.
In
Emergency Cases
In
case of an emergency due to an unfortunate
injury or illness, call one of the
following:
119
– An English-speaking person is
available at this number to help
you with the right medical assistance.
He/she will ask your name and any
other information to find their
way to you. An ambulance will then
be sent to you immediately.
