Ok, ok, stop groaning---Yes JETRO is the gang-that-can't-shoot-straight. However, if you have a good 20-50 page business plan but no money, JETRO can help. It's free advice and if treated as such JETRO is ok as a supplemental start for a gaijin trying to form company---in this case in the medical care sector.
Two warnings: 1. JETRO's legal advice sometimes is outdated (like their employees), and 2. You must give JETRO a bullet-point list on paper of your ideas so they can understand your needs. Without a solid business plan and Sesame-Street style presentation, JETRO will neither understand what want them to do nor will they do any undefined work for you.
