Ukrainian fighters will be treated at the Self-Defence Forces Central Hospital in Tokyo as part of the aid program, because Japan has also suffered destruction in the past as a result of a war with an aggressor country.
This hospital is operated jointly by the Ground, Sea and Air Self-Defence Forces. It has about 30 medical departments, including general surgery, digestive surgery and rehabilitation.
Japan's plan for the treatment of wounded soldiers will be discussed on 18 May during a meeting between Yasukazu Hamada, Minister of Defence of Japan, and Serhii Korsunskyi, Ambassador of Ukraine to Japan.
The Japanese government will also consider whether it can cover the cost of the treatment.
Background: In early April, Croatia also offered treatment and rehabilitation for Ukrainian fighters.
