Foreigner-Friendly Hospitals and Clinics in Tokyo's Adachi Ward
2024-04-25
Housing in Japan
One common issue faced by foreigners living in Japan is the language barrier when visiting a hospital or clinic, since not many hospitals in Japan have multilingual staff. But in recent years, with the government’s active promotion of inbound tourism, there have been efforts to improve the accessibility of Japanese hospital care to foreign nationals. This includes the promotion of foreign language learning to hospital staff and the employment of medical interpreters.
In this article, we list down some foreigner-friendly hospitals and clinics in Tokyo’s Adachi Ward.
Internal Medicine
Internal medicine is the medical field dealing with internal diseases and conditions such as headaches, colds, and digestive problems.
The following are some foreigner-friendly internal medicine clinics in Adachi Ward.
