Explanation of a patient's condition

Many doctors suffer from health problems due to long working hours. It is thus essential to provide a working environment for doctors without overstretching their capacity, particularly in order to enable them to provide patients with safe, high-quality medical care. To lessen doctors' burden and reduce their working hours, those in charge will contact concerned parties to explain an inpatient's condition if it is not an emergency case but when it has been determined that it is necessary to do so. We appreciate your cooperation in scheduling such a meeting to provide information.

Hours doctors are available to provide an explanation on an inpatient's condition	From 8:30 to 17:15 on weekdays

Issuance of medical and other certificates

Ask a member of each ward staff station when you need a medical certification or other type of certification.
The period required for preparing a certificate differs depending on the content of a certification.
We issue medical or other certificates for a fee, which differs depending on the certificates' content and format.
Consult with your attending doctor about a medical certificate of disability, written opinion regarding disability, medical certificate for disability pension, and other documents requiring the assessment of an inpatient's physical abilities.
