Our policy toward requests for restricted medical treatment on religious grounds

• We will strive to provide treatment without blood transfusions where possible.
• In addition to providing a detailed explanation before treatment in which blood transfusionmay be necessary, we will strive to gain consent for blood transfusion.
• In cases where it becomes difficult to maintain life without blood transfusion, we will place priorityon the stance of respecting life and perform blood transfusion.
• If the above conditional acceptance of life-saving blood transfusion policy cannot be followed,our hospital will explain the difficulty in providing treatment and support the patient inchanging hospital.
• We will not sign disclaimer forms consenting to absolute non-blood transfusions.
