thank you always for making the arrangements of the SEMI’s. They have really been very helpful and have made my pregnancy experience even more exciting and stress free.
It’s been nearly one month since our baby was born.
Our family is adjusting to our new life at home with lots of love and learning!
My husband and I would like to send our sincerest gratitude and thanks to all of the support we received over the period of pregnancy thru birth.
SEMI is an incredible service and we would not have felt as secure/supported/ and most importantly informed without it.
Firstly, I and my family are extremely grateful to all SEMI members. We got a baby boy last Tuesday. I will never forget your support, cooperation, and friendly behavior. May one God help us and guide us on the true path. Again, thanks to all SEMI members who helped me in this difficult journey.

I am writing to express our deepest gratitude for the exceptional Japanese-to English translation services you provided during my wife’s consultations and the birth of our baby.
From the moment we began our journey at the hospital, the professionalism and dedication of your team have been evident. Your translation played a crucial role in ensuring that we understand every aspect of the medical care and advice we received. This not only helped us make informed decisions but also provided us with a sense of comfort and security during what is naturally an anxious time for any expecting parents.
The empathy and patience displayed by your team went beyond the mere translation of words; it conveyed the warmth and concern that bridged the cultural and linguistic gap. It allowed us to fully engage in the healthcare process and feel reassured that both my wife and our baby were in good hands.
Being away from home and navigating a foreign healthcare system was initially daunting. However, the invaluable support from SEMI Sapporo has made this experience significantly smoother and more manageable. For this, my wife and l are deeply grateful.
Please extend our heartfelt thanks to every member of your team who assisted us. We will always remember their kindness and professionalism.

Interpreter took a lot of care in communicating what I was saying accurately.
It really helped me to navigate an appointment I would have struggled with a lot had I not used the service.
My interpreter was very kind and dedicated! Made the appointment much more enjoyable. Thank you so much for providing this service.

We all are doing fine. Time went by so fast. I was expecting my 2nd baby and my daughter was a baby when I left Japan and today by the grace of God my girl is 4.5 years old and my boy is 3 years old. And God blessed me again 2 months back with a baby boy.
Semi has been with me through my journey struggles, that’s why I wanted to share this news with you all. Throughout this pregnancy and birth, i missed and remembered semi so much. With all your support and help we always felt so at home and never felt any barrier with doctors.
The time of pregnancy and experience of birth especially the first one always holds such special place in mother’s heart and semi was there for me throughout that. That makes you all so special for me. Always cherish those memories. You all have been in my thoughts and prayers.
May you all always keep shining.

The interpreter is very kind and helpful. She translated everything in a very natural way that I felt very comfortable. She is also very knowledged person. The interpreter who helped me, gave homely feeling. I felt very comfortable with her. She translated everything what doctor said and also shared some related medical knowledge. This is undoubtedly a noble job that they are helping foreign people in their medical need. It would be impossible for some of us to visit a doctor without their help.
―P.M. on Aug. 30, 2023
I can explain everything properly with the help of SEMI. Interpreter was friendly and good at English speaking. It’s obviously a great work and wish a good luck.

Dear SEMI team members,
I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the invaluable support provided by the SEMI team throughout M’s entire journey of diagnosis, treatment, and surgery. Your presence and assistance were crucial in ensuring a smooth and successful medical experience.
Today, I am very happy that M returns home in good health after her surgery. Her recovery is going on, and she is in good condition now. The past few days have been stressful and hectic, but your support has been a great source of motivation for me to navigate through it all. The information and experiences the interpreters shared have helped us navigate the entire process immensely.
I am especially thankful for the interpreters’ prompt availability, even during emergencies. Your presence not only facilitated communication but also provided us with comfort and reassurance during critical moments.
Your ability to accurately and effectively translate medical information has been essential in bridging the language barrier and enabling us to understand the medical procedures and instructions fully.
Once again, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your exceptional assistance and motivation during these difficult times. We genuinely appreciate and value everything you have done for us. I extend my good wishes to your team members for the noble cause you are working towards.

It would be difficult to understand all the procedures related my treatment without SEMI’s support. They are excellent in describing or explaining everything in a very easy way.
Whenever I need any support, I found them and I am grateful for this.
They are doing excellent and please keep doing as such in future.

As a International student, I know very little japanese language. SEMI made my visit at clinic very easy. I was able to communicate with the doctor through the interpreter from SEMI. The interpreter also gave me courage during the treatment. It was a nice experience.
The service of SEMI is extremely fantastic. It is a nice experience for the international students.
-M.S. on May 22, 2023
I am very happy to get such a great person. -S.M.S. on May 19, 2023
With a heart filled with happiness and gratitude, I’m informing you that our daughter has been born today. I’m extremely exhausted and tired for last few days. That day after being hospitalized, my wife was struggling with the contractions. However, every of her struggles come to an end today with a bunch of happiness after seeing our daughter. Now, both of them are doing well. However, in a short talk, I just would like to thank to each and everyone involved with SEMI and doing very hard work for making our lives easier. I must say, without SEMI, this journey would be difficult. Thank you very much from the bottom of our hearts! My best wishes are always with SEMI and I will stay connected with SEMI always!
