Under the University of Tokyo Hospital policy, overseas patients cannot register directly. They must go through an officially certified 'Medical Coordinator (identity guarantor)' approved by the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. - 2
Independent Review Process
Even with a Korean doctor's referral, the University of Tokyo Hospital's International Medical Center (IMC) and the relevant professors must separately review the documents to determine acceptance.
