The healthcare system in Kamogawa is a blend of public and private services, providing comprehensive care to both residents and foreigners. The system is known for its efficiency and high standards of care, making it a reliable choice for anyone in need of medical attention.

Japan's Healthcare System

Japan's public healthcare system, known as the National Health Insurance (NHI), is a universal system that covers all residents, including foreigners who have been in the country for more than a year.

The experience at a public hospital in Kamogawa is typically positive, with high standards of care and professional staff. Foreigners, including expats and digital nomads, are allowed to use the public healthcare system in Japan. However, many expats also choose to use private hospitals, which may offer a more personalized experience. Private hospitals are also recommended for serious medical emergencies and major surgeries, and the experience at a private hospital in Kamogawa is typically of a high standard.
