Men’s Care Clinic would like to tell English-speaking visitors about a service run by the group that operates this clinic: Dialysis Travel Japan, which supports people on dialysis who want to travel in Japan.
What Dialysis Travel Japan is
If you receive dialysis, travelling means finding a facility near where you are staying that will treat you, and arranging the session before you arrive. Dialysis Travel Japan handles that from beginning to end, so that you can receive dialysis near your accommodation with confidence.
You enter the hotel, the station or the area where you will be staying, and the service searches for dialysis facilities that accept patients from overseas. A concierge then takes over the arrangements on your behalf.
What the concierge does for you
- Contacts the dialysis facility on your behalf.
- Confirms the booking for your session.
- Prepares the documents the facility requires.
- Interprets between you and the facility.
- Coordinates payment.
Where the service covers
Facilities can be searched in Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Yokohama, Fukuoka, Sapporo, Nagoya, Kobe, Okinawa, Saitama and Chiba, among other areas.
Languages
The service is offered in English and in French.
How to use the service
The service has its own website. Search for a facility there, or contact the concierge, and the arrangements are handled from that point. If someone in your family or among your friends is on dialysis and is thinking about travelling to Japan, please pass this on to them.
