Hospitals -- English speaking staff

I will travel in Dec with 6-month old baby. I would like to know if my baby needs to go to emergency. What should I do? What is the best way to handle? Please advice. Thanks

Even though you may or maynot be American, the US Embassy in Tokyo has a list :

Of course if there were an emergency that last thing I would worry about is which hospital I need to go to with an english speaking doctor, I would just go to the closest hopsital and take care of the emergency.

The emergency number in Tokyo (and in Japan) is 119 for Fire/Ambulance and 110 for Police. Tokyo is a large place so there's most likely a chance of an english speaking dispatcher on the other end.

i wouldnt worry, no matter who you are, or where you are in Japan, you will always find someone to help you should you be in need, even if they dont know english, just improvise a little

Thanks John. The list is very helpful. I will travel to Osaka too. Do you have a list for Osaka? Thanks

On that same page is a link entitled: Follow this link for lists of health care providers in other parts of Japan

I am just curious if anyone from this forum did actually ever dialed 119 in english? do 119 operator respond in english or they force you to speak in Japanese?

i'm pretty sure that 110 poliz operator do not speak english at all no?
