The Fukuoka Prefecture government established the Fukuoka Asia Medical Support Center in Fukuoka City on the 16th to offer consultation services to foreigners from Asia and elsewhere who wish to receive examinations or treatment at prefecture medical facilities. The support will include providing information on facilities and how to apply for visas for medical stays, and sending interpreters to accompany the foreigners to facilities. This is said to be the first service of its kind at the prefectural level in Japan.
