How are healthcare services in Tokyo?

Answer this Question

When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Tokyo, they replied...

"I tell them that everyone is under the same health insurance and not to worry about choosing from medical insurance plans. Also, for those with chronic diseases, I would advise them to check if their medicine and care is available in Japan, as a lot of medicine that is available in America is not available in Japan," explained one expat living in Tokyo, Japan.
