The short answer is no in that even Doctors without Borders weren't allowed to do emergency aid work after recent major earthquakes in Japan. It is possible for a foreign doctor to get a medical license in Japan. There are two exams to pass. One is a Japanese proficiency exam, and the other is a regular doctor's exam that a fresh graduate from medical school should be taking. Suppose an Indian doctor has the necessary Japanese medical license (not impossible, but the proficiency in Japanese is the bottleneck). It probably won't be the Indian hospital that sends the doctor to Japan. Japanese hospitals aren't recruiting in India either, so it's really the doctor making the move to Japan on their own prerogative.

I don't think there are "foreign hospitals" in Japan. We have only Japanese hospitals. And they don't need to hire foreign doctors. So the short answer is NO.

No chance.

No chance because all medical doctors must have passed Japanese exam sucessfully to be qualified officially as to behave any medical treatment or consultation in Japan. Why don't Indian hospital invite Japanese patients to take medical treatment instead. Many Thailand hospitals are doing that kind of profitable business now already.
