Feel free to contact the Center for Health and Community Medicine in case of illness, injury, or other health problems or concerns. The center can provide advice and first aid/minor medical care, and also has information about local clinics and hospitals. If you are a student, you will visit the center for your regular annual health checkup. Please be sure to come to the center for the health checks that are conducted after your arrival in Japan, or after your entry into the university.

Important note: Staff at the health center have very limited ability to communicate in languages other than Japanese. When contacting the center by telephone at any of the numbers listed below, it will be easiest if you speak in Japanese, or have someone who speaks Japanese call for you. When visiting the center in person, and if you do not speak Japanese, it would be helpful to have someone who speaks Japanese come with you. If it is not possible to have a Japanese speaker accompany you, staff at the center may use translation software or services to communicate with you.
