Japan International Hospitals (JIH) system is an initiative to provide information useful to international patients living in various countries, on hospitals in Japan where they may receive medical services, and information on travel assistance to help them. It is not easy for them to seek information on Japan’s hospitals that provide appropriate medical services according to their symptoms, conditions, and diseases. To solve these problems, the Japanese government published the guidelines for developing an environment where international patients can receive medical services in Japan. The guidelines prescribe the requirements be met by hospitals that actively accept international patients. The guidelines also prescribe the requirements to accredit medical travel assistance companies that provide high-quality and comprehensive international patient services.

As a certification body prescribed in the guidelines, MEJ established the criteria for assessing a hospital from aspects of the quality and safety of medical services and the system and efforts of hospital to accept international patients and then recommend the hospital that has met the criteria. MEJ also provides the list of recommended hospitals and information of each hospital on medical care, health check-ups, and medical examinations to be provided to international patients.

Each hospital has many clinical services and departments. However, not all clinical services and departments accept international patients. This website provides the function to find hospitals with clinical services and departments to accept international patients with specified diseases.
