Wealthy Vietnamese Increasingly Receiving Medical Care in Japan, Shifting from Health Checkups to Cancer Treatment and Regenerative Medicine
Published
A growing number of wealthy Vietnamese are going abroad for advanced medical care. Japan has become a popular destination for many of them.
In the past, most came to Japan for health checkups, such as comprehensive medical examinations (ningen dock). Recently, however, more people are coming to Japan to treat illnesses such as cancer. Patients' needs are shifting from health screening to actual treatment of disease.
In addition, more people want to receive regenerative medicine. Regenerative medicine is a treatment approach that aims to restore the function of the body's cells and tissues. It is thought that some people visit Japan in search of advanced medical treatments that are difficult to access in Vietnam.
For Japanese medical institutions, medical inbound tourism, which involves accepting patients from overseas, has become one of their new initiatives. Attention is likely to continue focusing on the movements of foreign patients seeking advanced medical care.
