Call for Amstelland Hospital Japan Desk Donation 2025
Call for Amstelland Hospital Japan Desk Donation
Dear member,
Thank you very much for your continuous support to JCC as a member of JCC.
The Amstelland Hospital Japan Desk was established in 2010 as a result of discussions between the JCC, JCC member companies, Amstelland Hospital, Amsterdam in Business, insurance companies, etc., in order to meet the desperate needs of the Japanese community living in the Netherlands, who are confused by the Dutch healthcare system and services, which are quite different from those in Japan. Its operation is supervised by a board of directors of Japan Desk Foundation (non profit organization), which JCC board member is also participating.
The Japan Desk provides the information of Dutch medical system in Japanese as well as an on-site assistance by Japanese speaking staff for Japanese patients that receive the medical examinations at Amstelland Hospital．They are also available by phone or email from inside and outside the Netherlands to answer the questions and provide information on the Dutch healthcare system in general. The number of cases reaching around 120 per month and all services are available for free of charge. Therefore the donations or good will from JCC member companies and individuals are an essential source of funding to maintain and improve the operation of the Japan Desk.
Although we receive the support from many member companies every year, the recent increase in operating costs due to high prices, as well as declining of the donations, has made it difficult for them to keep the operation in good shape. We would therefore be very grateful if you could support them and their activities by the donation.
If you would like to support Japan Desk, please send the attached application form or use the online application https://forms.office.com/e/tyy7DtSbeB before Friday 28 October 2024.

This is just a guideline. Your donation of any amount will be highly appreciated.
Sincerely yours,
