Halal Meals for Muslim Patients

!

For hygiene management reasons, we do not allow “outside food” to be brought into our hospital.
Our hospital meals will accommodate patients’ religious preferences as much as possible.

Halal meals – information

  1. Requesting Halal meals

    Halal meals can be arranged at your expense if requested in advance. Please note the following:

    • If dietary restrictions do not permit the consumption of Halal meals, the following rules apply:
      • Patients covered by Japanese health insurance will receive insurance-covered meals.
      • Patients not covered by Japanese health insurance will receive meals equivalent to those covered by insurance.
    • Arrangements for Halal meals will only begin after approval from your primary physician.
    • Since Halal meals are outsourced to specialized suppliers, it may take several business days for them to be ready.
    • Until the Halal meals are available, meals prepared by our hospital will be provided.
    • Halal meals are not covered by insurance and will be charged at your expense.
    • Costs will vary depending on the meal content.

  2. Our Kitchen

    Our hospital kitchen is not Halal-certified. There is no dedicated space for Halal food preparation, and meals are prepared using shared facilities and equipment that are also used for non-Halal foods. However, these are cleaned using a high-temperature dishwasher.

  3. Meat

    We can provide meals with the following options:

    • Meals excluding all pork products
    • Meals excluding all meat (chicken and beef)

    If there are specific foods you can consume, such as fish, eggs, or butter, please inform us in advance.

  4. Seasonings

    Ingredients such as soy sauce, mirin, cooking sake, miso, mayonnaise, and ketchup may contain “brewed alcohol” (not pure alcohol).

    If you prefer to avoid seasonings that may contain untraceable ingredients or brewed alcohol, we can provide meals seasoned only with salt and pepper.

  5. Preserved Foods

    If you are able to consume canned fruits, yogurt, gelatin-free jelly, or pudding, we can provide these options.

  6. Tableware and Cutlery

    We use a dishwasher that cleans at high temperatures. As this is a hospital, our dishwasher has a higher cleaning capacity than standard commercial dishwashers.

    We use commonly available detergents in Japan, which do not contain soil, sand, or clay components. In addition to chopsticks, we can provide spoons and forks upon request.

  7. Staple Foods

    Rice or porridge
    The base options for staple foods are “rice” and “rice porridge,” which are not contaminated with animal-derived products during preparation.

    Bread
    The bread served at our hospital contains yeast-based additives. The oven used to bake the bread is shared with non-Halal ingredients and is cleaned daily.

Important Guidelines for Patients and Families

We are dedicated to delivering exceptional care while ensuring a safe and comfortable
environment for all patients and their families.

Room Assignments

Room changes cannot be requested by patients or their families; however,
they may be made at the discretion of the attending physician and head nurse.

Payment Policy

Treatment may be paused if payments are not secured.

Treatment Compliance and Safety

If a patient refuses recommended treatment or presents a threat to others,
