If hospitalization becomes difficult due to special reasons, report this to our Hospitalization Center (Counter No. 6) in advance.
For hospitalization due to a workplace accident or traffic accident, report to Counter No. 3.
If your date of hospitalization has yet to be determined, the department in charge will later notify you of the planned date of hospitalization.

Visitors should fill out a specified visitor form and put on a visitor’s tag.

Pursuant to the Act on the Protection of Personal Information, no inquiries concerning patient information are acceptable by phone.

    

Request for restrictions on visits

Families of patients are not acceptable as well when they have any of the following conditions.
- Have a fever, sneezing, coughing, phlegm, nasal discharge, joint pain, diarrhea, nausea or other symptoms
