After receiving examinations and tests at the hospital, we can send patients back to the medical institution they were referred by, or refer them to a suitable regional medical institution, depending on their condition.

Joint medical examinations

We proactively accept patients referred by regional medical institutions for hospitalization, and provide joint medical examinations with the referring physician when necessary.
