Health Service Center
For assistance with managing your health, you can make use of The University of Tokyo's Health Service Center. The Center has three branches, on the Komaba, Hongo, and Kashiwa campuses, and any member of the University, regardless of the department they belong to, can make use any of them. The services they provide include medical treatment, health advice, and first aid.
The Health Management Office conducts medical examinations and further tests based on the results of these examinations, provides health advice, health consultations, nutritional advice, and so on. Students' annual medical check-ups normally take place between April and June. A medical certificate is required when applying for scholarships, jobs, etc., but the Health Service Center only issues medical certificates to students who have undergone their annual medical check-up that year.
There are general clinics on the Komaba campus for internal medicine, psychiatry, orthopedics, dentistry, and dermatology, and on the Hongo campus for internal medicine, psychiatry, ENT, and dentistry. Before visiting a clinic, we would advise checking the Health Service Center website for information such as the days and times they offer consultations and whether an appointment is required.
If you don't know which clinic you should visit, or you don't know whether you are sick or not, you can go to any of the clinics or the Health Management Office for an initial consultation. You can also visit in cases of emergency between 9 a.m. and 5 a.m., even if your visit is outside consultation hours.
