The Healthcare Center provides the medical check up for university students every April. All the students are required to take the examination. For detailed information, please check the international students’ bulletin board as well as “Topics & Information” on this HP in March. If you are unable to take the check up on the specified date, inform the staff in advance. Those who miss the check up are not eligible to apply for the dorm, some of the certificates or part-time jobs by university referrals.

The university clinic provides free consultation service for students’ physical and mental health and first-aid treatment. As a general rule, the service is available by appointment.

All the international students including their family members living in Japan are required to have National Health Insurance (NHI): the NHI policy holder shall pay 30% of the medical cost incurred, and the rest (70%) shall be covered by the insurance. Those whose income is lower than a certain income line are eligible for partial waiver of the premium. Please visit the National Pension & Health Care Division of your local municipal office for the enrollment and detailed information.

When a student is physically injured in an accident during classes, break time, research, experiment or extracurricular activities and see a doctor as directed by the university, part or all of the cost incurred on the first visit (except hospitalization expenses) will be covered by the insurance. All students are advised to take out an insurance policy.

Free medical consultation is available in English, Chinese, Thai, Portuguese, Spanish and Korean at the organization below.
