One doctor will be in charge of your treatment, but other doctors will be helping him or her.
When your main doctor is not there (at night, holidays, etc.) another doctor will be in charge.
If there is anything you do not understand about your treatment and care, feel free to ask the doctor or nurse to explain it to you.
Nurses will change 2times a day.
NST (Nutrition Support Team) will be making sure you get the healthy food you need during your hospital stay.

Going out or an overnight stay require the permission from your doctor. Please fill in the required information on the established form. Also tell the nurse when you go out or stay overnight, and when you come back to the ward.
Inform the nurse when you leave the hospital ward (even for walking, shops, barbers/beauty salons, meeting with visitors, etc.) in addition to going outside the hospital or staying overnight.
If you visit different medical institutions other than Kyushu University Hospital while you are out or staying at home during hospitalization, make sure to inform our hospital ward about that. Additionally, be sure to inform the medical institution that ‘you are being hospitalized at Kyushu University Hospital’ when receiving a medical examination there. Please be aware that the cost of a medical examination at another hospital during the hospitalization period at Kyushu University Hospital may not be covered by the insurance and the entire cost may be at your own expense.

If we cannot figure out where you are, doctor or nurse may search for you or contact your family.
Therefore we need your cooperation mentioned above.

As a rule, you don’t need an attendant (someone to stay with you). However, depending on your condition, a family member can stay with you if the doctor says that it is okay.
In that case, please carry In-hospital family care permission procedure in the Inpatient Ward.
You may not have a private nurse that you pay for staying with you.

There is an in-hospital emergency system at this hospital. Sometimes you might hear “Hurry sensei, hurry sensei, shikyu ○○ made kite kudasai.”
This means a doctor is being called for an emergency. This is a 24 hours system, so please understand that you may hear it at night too.
