Yesterday I posted about medical interpreting:

When, I posted, I had been unable to find information that a person in Kumamoto could use to find help. I did, however, find a Japanese pdf by Hiroko Saisho, the representative of Medical Support Kumamoto:
http://www.kumamoto-if.or.jp/Upload/topics/p1_7421_21161201434517.pdf
The pdf contains Hiroko’s e-mail and phone number but I wasn’t sure if it would be OK to publish that information here. Thankfully, Hiroko has confirmed that she is happy to have the information published here:
090-2968-4971(最相) E-mail: [email protected]
Here’s part of her message to me:
“Anyone who needs the help of interpreter can contact me through e-mail or call me. If the hospital is either one among Kokuritsu hospital, Kumadai hospital, Nisseki or Fukuda hospital, patients don’t need to pay for the interpretation. The fee is not regular interpreter fee. It is just 3000 yen.”
Hiroko works with the English language but I think she could help you find someone to help with another language.
