●People who can apply:
Tsukuba residents and those who don’t have an opportunity to take medical checkups at their work places can apply. Each person is eligible to take each checkup once a year. (Some checkups have requirements.)
These medical checkups are for people who don’t have any symptoms they have noticed. If you have any health problems, please go to an appropriate medical institution.
●Two types of checkup: Group medical checkups and checkups at a medical institution.
How to apply, how to have a consultation, and checkup fees are different depending on the medical insurance you have joined.
You are required to agree to the privacy policy below to take the medical checkups of Tsukuba City: ●You agree to take the particular checkups that you apply for.
●You agree that your personal information is collected and managed for notification of results, and that your information may be given to medical institutions if you need to have a detailed examination.
What are the Cancer Checkups?
The aim of cancer checkups is to find specific cancers such as stomach and colon cancer. If you have any symptoms, please go to an appropriate medical institution.
What is the Specific Checkup?
The specific checkup was started in April, 2008 and is mainly for metabolic syndrome.
This checkup takes place once a year for those who are members of medical insurance (Kyokai-Kenpo / Kumiai Insurance / Kyosai-Kumiai Insurance / National Health Insurance / the Latter-stage Elderly Insurance)
A ticket for a specific checkup is issued by medical insurance and then you are able to take the checkup at a specified medical institution. Health guidance is given to people who need it according to the result of the checkup.
It is important to take both the Cancer Checkups and Specific Checkup.
<Group Medical Checkup

・ When people in a wheelchair or people needing care have checkups, there might be some tests which cannot
be taken due to their body condition. Please ask the health center in advance.
・ People who have been asked to take a thorough examination in previous checkups, or who are currently having
treatment at a medical institution, are recommended to take the medical institution checkups.
・ Pregnant women cannot take any lung cancer, stomach cancer, or specific checkup. ・ Please circle the medical checkup items of choice on the registration card beforehand. ・ Please do not take the check-up if your physical condition is not good on that day. <What to do if you want to change the examination date>

Since there is a limit of the number of people for each checkup, you may not get the date of your choice when you change.

Our Ibaraki Prefecture goal for your dental health is “Let’s try to have more than 20 teeth at 80 years old, and more than 24 teeth at 64. (80-20 and 64-24). Both self-care and care at a dental clinic are important. We lose our teeth mostly because of cavities and periodontitis. 80% of adults over 40 years old get these diseases. Please think of your teeth and oral health. Let’s chew, taste, drink, and talk merrily with our healthy teeth and mouth.
Please take the checkup for cavities and periodontitis. <Eligibility> 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 years olds.
