Hakone is less than an hour from Tokyo, so it’s easy to assume medical help is always nearby. 📍

But being close to a major city doesn’t always mean being close to the right care. 🏥

When a traveller’s condition changed quickly, our team had to look beyond the map and find a hospital that could provide the right treatment.

Because in an emergency, the nearest hospital isn’t always the right one.

Meet Yuki Futemma, Operations Manager at EMA Global Japan 🇯🇵

When a client needs help in Japan, Yuki knows what needs to happen. From the first call through hospital coordination and ongoing support, he knows who to call, what needs to happen and how to make it happen.

When you need help in Japan, local knowledge matters. Yuki and the team know the healthcare system, know who to speak to and know how to get things moving. They know the people, the hospitals and what it takes to get the right help in place when our clients need it.

For Yuki, it’s about keeping things as straightforward as possible for the person who needs help. Listening, understanding what is needed and getting it done, especially when someone is far from home.

That local knowledge and experience is what makes a difference when our clients need help in Japan.

What Does It Take To Care For A Patient In The Air? ✈️

Caring for a patient on a plane is very different from working in a hospital.

The goal is to keep the patient stable and comfortable until they reach the right medical facility. But the crew must also be prepared if the patient’s condition changes or an unexpected situation happens onboard.

That’s why specialised training, medical expertise and the ability to stay calm under pressure matter. 🩺

As Dr Winston Jong, Flight Doctor, puts it:

“Putting a doctor or a nurse outside a hospital environment is never the same.”
