National Hospital Organization Disaster Medical Center
About
The National Disaster Medical Center, operated by the National Hospital Organization, is located in Midoricho, Tachikawa City, Tokyo. As a core disaster medical center, it plays a central role in Japan's disaster healthcare system. The hospital provides high-quality medical care in emergency medicine, advanced comprehensive care, and cancer treatment. Patients can apply for examinations at the reception on weekdays from 8:30 AM to 11:00 AM. Consultations begin at 9:00 AM, and the hospital is closed on Saturdays, Sundays, public holidays, and during the New Year period. Patients with referral letters can make appointments by calling the Outpatient Appointment Center and should bring their medical card and referral letter for their visit. If you do not have a referral letter, obtaining one from your primary care physician is recommended. Without a referral letter, the hospital may be unable to provide examinations, and you may have to wait for an extended period. Additionally, without a referral letter, you are required to pay a selection medical care fee of 7,700 yen (including tax) for the initial visit. An online eligibility verification system is in place, allowing the use of My Number Card (My Number Insurance Card) as a health insurance card. Services are available in English, and payment can be made by credit card, debit card, or electronic payment. The facility is also equipped with parking and barrier-free accessibility.
