When you are not able to make your own way to a hospital due to a serious injury or sickness, call 119 for an ambulance. This service is also available from mobile phones. Try to keep calm and give your name, the place you are in (address, name of the building, floor, room number, etc.), and describe your condition in Japanese. If you cannot speak Japanese, let the operator know right away. If at all possible, find somebody who understands Japanese to assist you.
