Health checkups (examinations) during the corona crisis are not unnecessary or urgent
Due to the impact of the new coronavirus infection, the number of people undergoing medical examinations (checkups) has decreased nationwide. There is concern that lifestyle-related diseases and cancer may progress without subjective symptoms due to refraining from seeing a doctor. For early detection and early treatment, regular check-ups are important.
At medical institutions, health examinations (examinations) are being carried out after taking infection prevention measures based on notifications from the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, etc. We ask that you cooperate with infection control measures, such as wearing a mask and washing your hands before and after your appointment.
