An in-person medical interpretation of TIA will conclude at the end of March 2026. We kindly ask that you use external medical interpretation services thereafter. Furthermore, we will continue to provide information regarding foreign language support in medical settings, and we hope you will find it useful.
There are three options. Please ask to the hospital and tell them that you want to use any one of services. The hospital will apply to those services.

This is an in-person interpretation. We can dispatch a volunteer medical interpreter to the hospitals that have agreements with us, or clinics in Tsukuba City.
Ibaraki Prefecture offer “the Multilingual remote medical interpretation service” in order to support smooth communication between the patients and medical professional staffs.
(1) AMDA Medical Information Center's telephone interpretation
Besides the service mentioned above, AMDA also offers a direct service to the patients. Interpretation service over the phone is available during your visit on doctors.
