Having to deal with any health or medical issues in a foreign country can be daunting. More so, if the country you are residing in doesn’t speak your mother tongue or has a completely different medical system. Luckily in Tokyo, we have seen an increase in medical clinics and hospitals that are able to provide doctors who speak or offer English support in recent years.<\/p>\n

Even better there are also some services and websites such as Himawari, Medidoc, etc. that can connect you with hospitals or clinics that can potentially assist you with your particular medical needs.<\/p>\n

So here’s a list of services, clinics and recommended doctors that are well known and respected in the foreigner’s community in Tokyo who offers English support.<\/p>\n

As some of these doctors might not accept the National Health Insurance, we have gone the extra mile to indicate it in our list too! We wish you a speedy recovery!<\/p>\n
