In the previous fiscal year, Okayama University Hospital recorded a total of 3,968 visits by international patients. About 90% of these patients are foreign residents living in Japan. However,many of them have limited Japanese language proficiency and require language support services such as medical interpretation.
The International Patient Support Center provides a range of support services to ensure that all patients, regardless of nationality, can receive safe and reliable medical care.These efforts include providing medical interpretation tablets, sharing and reviewing challenging cases involving international patients to develop appropriate solutions, and conducting staff training sessions to promote understanding of diverse cultures and backgrounds.
