Emergency Care

Branch Health Clinic Sasebo doesn’t have an emergency room or urgent care center. Clinic staff may respond to medical emergencies on base; however, the clinic relies on local Japanese facilities or the Naval Hospital for all higher levels of emergency care. Patients requiring emergency care will be transported to an appropriate facility. 

In case of emergency, please call 911 or 0956-50-0911 on base, or 119 off base. 

Enrolled in a TRICARE Prime plan? Contact your primary care manager within 24 hours or the next business day after you receive emergency care. 

All clinics are closed on federal and training holidays. Please visit the BHC Sasebo Facebook page for up-to-date closure and affected hours information.
