Can I See a Doctor During My Stay?

Can I See a Doctor During My Stay?

Studying abroad is an exciting and life-changing experience, but it also comes with its share of challenges—especially when it comes to health and well-being. Whether you’re dealing with a common cold, an upset stomach, or something more serious, it’s important to know that you can access reliable medical support during your stay at our school. Fortunately, our campus is well-prepared to provide students with a safe, supportive environment where health concerns can be addressed promptly and professionally.

In this section, we’ll walk you through the medical support system available during your stay, including daily doctor visits, emergency care options, insurance support, and multilingual assistance.

Daily On-Site Medical Consultations (Weekdays Only)

One of the major benefits of studying at our academy is the on-campus medical service. A licensed local doctor visits our campus every weekday, offering basic medical consultations for students who may feel unwell or need medical advice.

These daily visits are particularly convenient for students experiencing:

• Minor colds and fevers

• Sore throats or coughs

• Skin issues or rashes

• Digestive problems

• General fatigue

• Menstrual pain or irregularities

Students do not need to travel to a clinic or hospital for these kinds of issues, which saves time and stress. All you need to do is inform the school staff, and they will help you register for a consultation with the doctor during their daily visit.

Cashless Treatment with Overseas Travel Insurance

Worried about medical costs? There’s good news—if you have overseas travel insurance, most treatments can be handled without any out-of-pocket payment.

We have partnerships with several major Japanese insurance companies, and our staff are familiar with the procedures for processing claims. Once you show your insurance certificate or policy number, our team can help coordinate a cashless transaction with the attending doctor or hospital. This service is particularly helpful in emergencies when you may not be thinking clearly or have immediate access to funds.

If you’re unsure whether your insurance policy covers outpatient visits or specific treatments, we recommend checking the details before departure. Our staff can also help you understand your policy if needed.

Emergency Care and Hospital Transfers

In more serious situations—such as high fever, injury, food poisoning, or persistent symptoms—we may recommend that you receive care at a local hospital. In these cases, you won’t be left to handle it on your own.

Our school provides staff accompaniment to hospitals, meaning one of our team members will go with you to help with:

• Transportation (arranging a taxi or school vehicle)

• Hospital check-in procedures

• Communication with local medical staff

• Translation between English and the local language

• Handling of insurance documents

This is especially reassuring for students who do not feel confident in their English or are unfamiliar with local medical systems.

We have long-standing relationships with several nearby hospitals and clinics, some of which have English-speaking staff. This allows us to get students seen quickly and comfortably.

Multilingual Staff Support: Japanese, Chinese, and Arabic

We understand that speaking your own language during times of stress or illness can make a huge difference. That’s why we have a diverse, multilingual support team on-site every day.

Here’s the breakdown of our current support staff:

• 4–5 Japanese staff members:
  They are available on a daily basis and can support Japanese students with translations, doctor consultations, insurance paperwork, and emotional support.

• 2 Chinese-speaking staff members:
  Chinese-speaking students can also receive assistance in their native language, making it easier to explain symptoms and understand treatment plans.

• 2 Arabic-speaking staff members:
  For students from Arabic-speaking countries, dedicated staff can offer cultural and linguistic support during medical consultations or emergencies.

Our staff are trained not only in basic medical support procedures but also in compassionate care. Many of them have studied or worked abroad themselves, so they understand the anxiety that can come with getting sick in a foreign country.

Tips to Stay Healthy While Studying Abroad

While medical support is readily available, we always encourage students to be proactive about their health. Here are a few helpful tips:

1. Bring your medications:
   If you take any prescription medications, make sure to bring enough for your entire stay, along with a copy of your prescription.

2. Stay hydrated and eat well:
   Adjusting to a new diet can affect your digestion. Our meals are designed to suit international tastes, including Japanese cuisine, but it’s important to maintain a balanced diet.

3. Get enough rest:
   A busy schedule of classes and activities can wear you down quickly. Make time for proper rest.

4. Use your travel insurance wisely:
   Know what your policy covers and don’t hesitate to ask staff for help when needed.

5. Don’t ignore symptoms:
   It’s always better to see a doctor early than to let a condition worsen.
