Emergency Medical Care for International Travelers

Let’s figure out your healthcare options, making your trip safer and more enjoyable

Being away from your usual medical facilities can be a concern for many travelers. I am type-1 diabetic, so the thought of my medical devices malfunctioning, forgetting that one piece that connects to the syringe, or running out of insulin scares the heck out of me while traveling.

Travel fatigue happens when you cram too much in the itinerary, and the body crashes until it gets its rests. Do you know where to go in case this happens? Do you know what medicine to take for certain symptoms?

It's important to have a back-up plan in case emergencies happen.

Health Management Clinic Shinjuku West

It is difficult for some hospitals and clinics to help patients without the proper paperwork… or insurance.

This clinic in Nishi Shinjuku is a great place to start.

Clinic’s Origin Story

Dr. Miyamoto’s personal experience inspired him to open a clinic available after hours for both locals and international travelers.

Having traveled as a backpacker across the Eurasian continent, he fell ill during the journey and endured considerable hardship, which motivated him to create this service.

Heads up: English is a challenge

Times like these, language barrier is secondary. I would be grateful that there are professionals who are willing to support me when I’m ill!

While neither the director nor the staff are fluent in English (or other foreign languages), they are fully committed to patient care, utilizing translation devices to provide the best possible support.
