When your kid has a high fever in the middle of the night it can be so difficult to get information about which hospital you can go to.
If you call the hospital directly it’s not so efficient and you *shouldn’t* just go to hospital! They might not even be able to check your kid.
Here are 3 ways to find an emergency hospital:
Tokyo fire department 救急相談センター
■TEL: #7119
if you can’t connect to this number these numbers are available too:
23区:03-3212-2323
多摩地区:042-521-2323
※When the machine tells you the hospital name and telephone number it talks really fast! So if you have recorder app on your phone I recommend using it.
■Region: Tokyo
■Reception time: 24hours
■Service Description: When you get injured, should I call the ambulance? Should I go to the hospital? That kind of situation. You can call 救急相談センター.
急な病気やケガをした場合に、「救急車を呼んだほうがいいのかな?」、「今すぐ病院に行ったほうがいいのかな?」など迷った際の相談窓口として、「東京消防庁救急相談センター」を開設しています。
東京消防庁救急相談センターでは、これらの相談に相談医療チーム(医師、看護師、救急隊経験者等の職員)が、24時間年中無休で対応しています。引用:東京消防庁ホームページより
東京医療機関案内サービス ひまわり
