Web Check Manual

   The University Health Service offers: (1) periodical and on-demand health checkups, (2) individual and group counseling/guidance for health problems, (3) primary clinical care for diseased/injured persons, (4) health data management, and (5) education and academic research.

The annual health checkup is mandated by law for university students and employees.  Employees (and science-major students as well) who engage in hazardous work involving specified chemical agents, radioactive agents, microbes,  and working at night or in hot/cold/hyperbaric places are required to undergo additional special health checks carried out by the Health Service every 6 months.

Based on these checkup results, medical/occupational advice and suggestions are given to students, employees and their supervisors.  A quit-smoking program using topical nicotine and an e-mail system are offered to students and employees.

Primary clinical care is provided to patients suffering from diseases and injuries.  Internal medicine and psychiatry departments are open on weekday.  When advanced examinations or therapies are needed, we refer patients to Kyoto University Hospital or other medical institutions in the vicinity.

Preventive and clinical services are provided at branch offices located at the Katsura, Uji, and Kumatori Campus.  Healing services using aromas, music, and body massage, as well as physical exercise with treadmill/cycle-ergometer and dumbbells are also available at the Katsura branch.

Health checkup data are continuously collected in our computer system.  When a student or employee requests, his/her health certificate can be issued using these data and some additional physical or laboratory examinations.
