18Nov 2020 Nagasaki-Ken

 

Japanese medical facilities are divided into departments. When you arrive at the clinic, hospital or dentist’s office, please go to the reception desk. Some facilities have a system whereby you can be seen by the doctor after registering at reception, whereas other facilities may require you to make an appointment in advance. In some cases you may have wait several hours to be seen by the doctor, even after registering at the reception desk. Make sure to locate in advance the clinics, hospitals and dentist’s offices nearest to your home.

 

If you go to see a doctor, please take with you your Health Insurance Card (without it you will be required to pay the full cost of treatment), and identification such as your passport.
