Medical Inbound Services
As a bridge between Japanese medical institutions and international visitors seeking Japanese medical care, we coordinate medical tourism on a one-stop basis.
JMHC's Basic Policy
As an international medical coordinator, we provide total support, from consultations to medical services, so that international patients can receive Japanese medical care with peace of mind.
In recent years, interest in medical tourism to Japan has been growing around the world. Japan's medical technology is regarded as among the best in the world, and the World Health Organization (WHO) has also recognized its high quality. As a result, many international patients wish to undergo checkups and treatment in Japan.
As an international medical coordinator in Japan, JMHC works with Japanese medical institutions to build a framework that can reliably provide international patients not only with medical care but also with a range of services during their stay, and to share Japanese medical care with the world.

Our Initiatives
We support patients traveling to Japan so that medical institutions can provide Japanese medical care smoothly.
When patients arrive in Japan, a medical coordinator accompanies them and, through medical interpretation support, ensures smooth coordination with international patients seeking checkups or treatment. Working with Japanese medical facilities, we provide one-stop support so that health checkups, screening programs and treatment by Japanese doctors proceed smoothly.
