Health Care in Japan
The Japanese health care system offers healthcare services, free screening examinations for particular diseases, prenatal care, and infectious disease control. The insurance program is administrated by local governments and offers a universal program with equality of access.
Employers can take part of the national health insurance, it offers advantages for schools, but the insurance program covers all the services of the elderly, and provides facilities for them.
Japan enforces multiple health and hygiene standards that improve the quality of the services offered.
Medical treatment and drugs are of the best quality; that is why they are so expensive (especially the prescription drugs.) If you suffer from some disease, the best option is to bring your medicines and don’t forget to bring a copy of your prescription in case you run out of pills; otherwise, you would have to buy a generic drug instead of a brand drug. Be careful when you buy a specific medication and remember that not all the drugs are available in Japan.
The emergency number in Japan is 1-1-9 and if you are in North America, it is 9-1-1. Remember to speak slowly in an emergency; so they can understand you better and help you quickly.
