Are you looking for a great obstetrics and gynecology clinic (OB-Gyns) in Japan? Look no further! This article lists 5 great hospitals and clinics throughout Japan with English and multilingual support for foreign residents, especially for women concerned about language barriers when receiving female health care in this foreign land.
Most women visit gynecologists for a routine checkup and sometimes for pregnancy tests. While there are plenty of clinics and offices that offer these services, only a handful has English-speaking staff and experience with foreign female health care.
In many cases, when you’re making your doctor’s appointment, at the end of the call, most of the hospitals will request you to bring your own interpreter with you when you go. But looking for a trustworthy medical interpreter is never a small task, and the Coronavirus pandemic only makes this job from hard to impossible. But don’t panic just yet, we are here to help. Here, we did our best to reveal those medical facilities, that have in-house interpreters or medical providers themselves are fluent English speakers.
