In order to prevent Covid-19 infection, we have decided to prohibit visits except in the following cases.
・When deemed necessary due to the patient’s medical condition (explanation of the patient’s condition, accompanying a patient in a serious condition, etc.)
・When requested by the hospital (waiting for examination or surgery, etc.)

Protection of the Patient’s Privacy

The following rules are for the protection of the patient’s privacy.
We cannot give out any information about patients by phone. If anyone asks, we will tell them to ask the patient’s family.
If you do not want visitors, tell the hospital staff at your ward when you first come to the hospital. If anyone comes to ask questions about you at the reception desk, we will reply that we cannot answer.
Unless you have said that you do not want to meet any visitors, the staff will let people come to see you. You cannot ask the staff to only let some people in, and not others.
