CONCEPTPresident of Seifuhkai
Dr. Hideo TAKAHASHI
Welcome to our clinics
Dr. Hideo Takahashi M.D., the head of Sifuhkai group and three affiliated
clinics, has been devoted himself to provide better healthcare to foreign
patients since he opened the clinic in 1987 in Tokyo. Foreign workers in
Japan have doubled to 1.10 million people in 2016 compared with 1990, especially
in the past 4 years, every year 100,000 people are increasing and various
problems are emerging. Dr. H Takahashi and co-workers presented in some
medical conferences, especially International Forum on Quality and Safety
in Healthcare in Kuala Lumpur, in August 2017 and in Amsterdam, Holland
in May 2018 on problems about healthcare of foreigners who need medical
treatments to improve and solve the problems to provide more reliable medical
cares based on our experience accumulated during 25 years since opening
to establish a better relationship between medical provider and foreign
patients, resultantly, they have been providing better and renovated medical
care to patients who need though are not provided proper medical care in
Japan.Through these international communications, proper medical care are
provided feedback to patients. Our primary care clinics are often portal
sites to foreign patients, most of them are English speaking people who
first visit our medical facilities in Japan or asking us about second opinions
for solutions of unresolved problems after visiting other clinics or hospitals.The
number of nationalities of patients is over 100 countries in Afica-Asia,
Europe, Ameica, and Oceania. In order to provide appropriate healthcare
for them which is equivalent to Japanese people without discrimination,
we believe that without solving language barriers, adequate medical care
for the foreigners cannot be provided. The data collection was conducted
following the two steps; firstly a brief questionnaire was used for the
patients, secondly some English sentences and the pictures were used by
the receptionist staff to communicate with the informants. We also pay
attention to cultural and religious background for foreigners, different
types of medical insurance joining, occupational accidents due to physically
burdening works, and mental stress and extension of legal problem, NPOs,
NGOs and the relevant Embassies.Furthermore the professional experts of
the Christianity, Islam and Hindu beliefs should also be considered in
line with the medical care and service network. Depending on the country
of birth place, foreign residents tend to form clusters of their own nationalities
and to trust in word-of-mouth information among them and also to seek medical
treatment aiming even at a long distance. Fellows and colleagues within
clusters from each country often consult with the advice of the caretaker.
Smooth provision of materials to the core people of the foreigner’s community
facilitate them to easily visit the homepages or Internet sites of our
clinics in Tokyo and its surroundings before visiting our clinics. Human
communication tool between healthcare workers and foreign visitors on our
three clinics has been improved over the past 25 years and evaluated by
expectations for Japanese medical services from medical care profound analyzed
data of the foreign patients visiting our three medical institutions. However,
the importance of further communication for mutual understanding between
medical staff and foreign patients, and more detailed support for the process
of information access and continued medical care became necessary. Upon
satisfaction of the assignment, we provide variable information within
the clusters belonging to the community, utilize widely available information
from the Japanese and foreign colleagues in the area, such as guidance
on public services, etc. to foreigners such as a wide range of community
groups and networks. It is expected that further satisfaction of medical
services to foreigners will be possible with the measures to be utilized
a hub of provision of medical service.
