In order to provide better healthcare services to international patients, we have worked hard to make our treatment more accessible to them. In particular, we have special rooms and manuals especially for them, and multilingual posters and signs in the hospital.The Kaikoukai Healthcare Group has a department dedicated to supporting international patients.
In February 2015, we became the first private hospital in the Chubu region to be accredited by the Japan Medical Service Accreditation for International Patients (JMIP).
The Japan Medical Service Accreditation for International Patients (JMIP) is an accreditation system established by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare as part of a national program to encourage healthcare providers to accept international patients. The Japan Medical Education Foundation impartially and fairly evaluates how healthcare institutions accept them, so that people will be able to feel secure about receiving medical services while visiting or living in Japan.
In April 2020, we became the first private hospital in Aichi Prefecture to be recommended by Medical Excellence JAPAN* (MEJ) as a Japan International Hospital (JIH).
