About priority medical institutions for referrals
In September 2023, our hospital was designated as a key medical institution for referrals.
A medical institution that requires referral letter for outpatient treatment. A medical institution that provides outpatient care that requires surgery, treatment, chemotherapy, etc., or expensive medical equipment and facilities such as radiation therapy, and is designated by prefectures based on a national system.
We ask that patients understand this purpose and bring referral letter from their family doctor or another medical institution when visiting our hospital.
In addition, for patients currently receiving treatment at Tobu Hospital, if their symptoms stabilize, we will refer them to other hospitals.
(* Tobu Hospital cannot be your family doctor.)
