leaving Japan, but suddenly got sick – will I still be able to go to the doctors?

as the title said, I am leaving Japan soon so I did the right steps and informed the local ward office about it and they also took me to an NHI counter which provided me with a list of my payments.

today, 5 days before my departure I got a very bad sinus infection spreading to my ear. I don’t think I’ll be able to handle it for multiple hours on the plane.

Question is: will I still be able to go to the doctors here using my NHI card and the residence card? Or are they cancelled since I signed off at the city ward office? In that case, what should I do?

Please help me out 🙂
