Health Administraion Center (Phone 39-3128)
In order to lead a productive and happy campus life, you need to stay healthy, both physically, and mentally. At the Health Administraion Center, a physician counselor and nurses are stationed to provide various health consultation and counseling services. Do not hesitate to make use of these services.
Regular Medical Examination
Early in every academic year, all students are expected to undergo a medical examination: A chest X-ray, urine analysis, blood pressure measurement, physical measurement, etc. The specific dates of the medical examination will be posted. (Non-regular students can also undergo medical examination.)
When you need a medical certificate to apply for a scholarship, a job, and the like, the Health Administraion Center will issue it for the items covered in the medical examination. Because the issuing of the certificate takes some days, you are advised to apply for it well in advance.
You can get a medical certificate from hospitals, but it will cost a great deal, so it is advisable for you not to miss our regular medical examination.
First Aid
When you need any first aid treatment for headaches, fevers, stomachaches, injuries or the like, come to the center. If you are seriously ill or injured, you will be given appropriate advice, and recommendations as to where to go for treatment.
Health Consultation
Do not hesitate to consult the Health Administration Center about your physical and mental health. Your problems will be treated as confidential. You can see the doctor and nurses any time during office hours. If you want to see the counselor, make an appointment.
