Answer this Question

When we asked members about emergency services in Tokyo, they wrote...

"Emergency services in Tokyo are well-equipped and efficient, providing assistance in various situations such as medical emergencies, fires, and accidents. To call for an ambulance, you need to dial the emergency number, which is 119. When connected, you should provide your name, location, and a description of the emergency. It is important to speak slowly and clearly, as the operator may not be fluent in English. Ambulance services in Tokyo are generally free of charge, and the paramedics are trained to provide immediate medical assistance on the scene before transporting the patient to the nearest appropriate medical facility," commented one expat who made the move to Tokyo, Japan.

"Emergency services are common and can be accessed by calling 119 for a fire or ambulance and 110 for police. I am a 20 minute public transit ride away from several different hospitals, or a 10 minute drive. The best hospitals in the city are The University of Tokyo Hospital and St. Luke's International Hospital. I am unfamiliar with their care as I have not had to visit yet," remarked another expat in Tokyo, Japan.
