(2) Emergency Care
Emergency care is being reopened step by step as of June 1, although ER was closed since March 28. When accepting you as an emergency patient, we assess your condition and take appropriate measures to prevent infection, providing medical care under the assumption that they may be infected with COVID-19. In the event of emergency hospitalization, the patient will be treated in a private room for purposes of preventing the spread of infection.

(3) Return Visits
For return visits, we are continuing to provide medical care required by treatment plans, including chemotherapy and immunotherapy. After May 7, outpatient clinics have been reinstated to normal operations in a phased manner.

If your medical condition worsened or you have any medical concerns, please call the patient hotline as soon as possible.

(4) Other
We are gradually reopening the Center for Diagnostic and Therapeutic Endoscopy, which had been closed due to restrictions on outpatient care.

3. Phone Consultations & Issuing Out-of-Hospital Prescriptions

In an effort to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), we are providing phone consultations and issuing out-of-hospital prescriptions.
