Hiroshima University Hospital Earns JMIP Accreditation

On June 6, 2022, Hiroshima University Hospital (HUH) has proudly obtained accreditation of Japan Medical Service Accreditation for International Patients (JMIP) as an institution which international patients can receive safe and secure medical services. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, foreign visitors once rapidly decreased, but now have been gradually came back. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, Japan’s inbound tourism had shown remarkable growth and many international patients visited HUH for treatment. In addition, there were cases that foreign patients traveled to Japan in pursuit of highly advanced medical treatment and we had worked hard to meet their needs. In addition, as “Good Health and Well-Being” is one of the SDGs, we decided to obtain the above-mentioned accreditation to accommodate patients’ needs and this goal for action.  

JMIP screening includes documents and onsite visit examinations. Judges visited HUH last March and asked us about our handling and supporting system of international patients. They examined our practice for international patients, such as multilingual signs and guides, and cultural and religious consideration. This accreditation certifies that HUH has a structure to offer safe and secure medical services to all international patients who need medical treatment.

In January 2019, HUH was also recommended by Medical Excellence Japan (MEJ) as Japan International Hospitals (JIH), the system to recommend the hospitals that have the desire and are working to accept medical travelers.
