Ai international medical institute was established in 2019. Dr. Yoko Arinaga, the director of this project is a registered nurse, accomplished master's degree in Australia and PhD in nursing at Tohoku university which is one of top universities in Japan.

Ai international medical institute is supported by Nagasaki healthcare group.

I worked as a nurse for hospital and hospice in Japan and Australia for 14 years and worked as a researcher for 8 years. My interest has been supporting patients and their family particularly in their end stage. As they suffer physically, psychologically, socially and spiritually, it was hard to ignore and do nothing for them. I wanted support my patients with my hands so I had training at hospice in south Australia in my 20's. I learned palliative care and complementary and alternative therapies and brought it back to Japan. I taught how to support patients and families using pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions, including aromatherapy, massage, counselling and healing to medical professionals and students.

I accomplished master's degree in palliative care at Flinders university, south Australia, and PhD in nursing in Japan.

I became a researcher because I experienced the evidence is most powerful in medical field to convince other people. My research themes have been about breast cancer related lymphoedema and other oncology nursing.

Many of patients and families told me they want to travel before they die, but they had fear for pain and troubles at tourist destinations.

Our aim is to make their dreams come true and to see them laughing together, sharing wonderful time and making beautiful memories.

I also would love to provide natural therapies for people who need them.

We are very passionate to make people happy.
