TSM INTERNATIONAL HOSPITAL ALLIANCE
Explore representative Japanese hospitals, specialties and application requirements for patients travelling from abroad. This is not a hospital ranking; acceptance requires review by the chosen hospital.
These are representative institutions of interest to overseas Chinese-speaking patients, with processes for international care. This is not a ranking or a promise of acceptance for every condition at every time. Confirm the condition, records, referral requirements, language and availability with the hospital beforehand.
