At this hospital, aside from ER (emergency room) visits, as a rule we only accept patients based on a referral appointment system.
What is a patient referral system?
For those visiting for the first time, you will need to prepare beforehand a patient referral document (introduction) from your present medical institution, call the Appointment Center, and make an appointment with the desired department.
Business cards, test results, annual physical results *themselves are not a substitute for a patient referral form. Please take note of this.
Excepting cases where doctors from health care centers and municipalities have identified the necessity for treatment based on the results of an annual physical, have specified this hospital as a possible medical institution for treatment, and specifically refer a patient to this hospital
For first-time visitors, please take a seat 30 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment time.
Please follow the procedures at Medical Reception (Window 1).
First-Time Visitors Are:
