Providing Compassionate, Patient-centered Healthcare
The forerunner of Kitasato Institute Hospital was Tsukushigaoka Yojoen, established by Shibasaburo Kitasato in 1893. Under the motto "Practical and Compassionate Care," the Hospital's fundamental policy rests on four pillars: clinical medicine, education, research, and crisis management. On this basis the Hospital is engaged in comprehensive healthcare from preventive medicine to the research, development, and provision of cutting-edge healthcare, as well as Oriental medicine. The Hospital has built a good collaborative relationship with regional healthcare institutions, corporations and other organizations, working together as a team, and it actively contributes to regional healthcare.
Contributing to the Community through Team Medicine
Established in 1989 in a verdant setting, and embracing compassionate treatment as its motto, the Hospital offers safe, leading-edge healthcare and healing. It practices team medicine by collaborating physicians and medical staff and, as a comprehensive medical-care educational institution, the Hospital continues to educate and train future generations of medical practitioners. Further, by maintaining the most advanced medical equipment, by providing a fully developed medical environment, and in other ways, the Hospital contributes to, and supports, the healthcare of the regional community.
Oriental Medicine Research Center: A pioneer in exploring the wisdom of Oriental medicine
Since its establishment in 1972, the Center has played a pioneering role in the study of Oriental medicine. In 1986, it became the first Japanese institution to be designated as a WHO Collaborating Center for Traditional Medicine. In the clinical department featuring Kampo (Japanese herbal) medicine and acupuncture, experts on Oriental medicine practice patient-focused treatments with a “human” touch. The Center will continue to focus on research, using Western medicine to complement Oriental medicine, to realize comprehensive healthcare practiced at an even higher level.Copyright © Kitasato University Hospital.
