What is "Private Medical Check-up"?

"Ningen Dock" translated means "Private Medical Check-up". It is a program designed to maintain an individual's health. Ningen Dock was originally established in Japan to provide comprehensive health examinations to detect and treat diseases, particularly early stages of disease. This program can also detect and help to prevent serious progressive diseases by controlling lifestyle risks to reduce the onset of lifestyle-related diseases. The series of tests, exams, and consultations administered during a Private Medical Check-up concerning one's lifestyle habits and medical history can prolong a healthy life further. At the General Medical Checkup Center, we offer half-day and full-day Ningen Dock programs to meet your specific health needs. A Healthcare Center staff member will escort you to each procedure and assist you throughout the day. Ningen Dock fees are not covered by the National Health Insurance Program.
