Approximately 500 foreign patients visit Okayama University Hospital each year. Of these, more than 90% are foreign patients living in Japan, and many of them are not proficient in Japanese, so language support such as interpreting is essential. The International Patient Support Center provides a variety of support in addition to language support to ensure that all patients, regardless of nationality, can receive safe and secure medical care, including lending medical interpretation tablets, sharing of cases of difficulty in dealing with foreign patients and discussion of countermeasures, and sharing of foreign cultures through in-house training programs.
