Seitetsu Kinen Muroran Hospital
About
Seitetsu Kinen Muroran Hospital is located in Chibetsucho, Muroran City, Hokkaido, and serves as a key regional hospital in the Iburi area, operated by a social medical corporation. The hospital offers a wide range of medical services centered on internal medicine, playing a central role in regional healthcare. Among its notable initiatives, the hospital launched Japan's first 'regional healthcare-promoting advanced remote ICU' in January 2026, enhancing the quality of intensive care in collaboration with Sapporo Medical University Hospital. The cumulative number of robot-assisted surgeries (da Vinci) has exceeded 1,000 cases, and six years after its introduction to the Iburi region, minimally invasive and highly precise surgical procedures have become firmly established in the area. A high-performance hybrid operating room is also in operation, providing an advanced medical environment. In the physician clinical training matching program, the hospital has ranked second in Hokkaido for three consecutive years and achieved full capacity for nine consecutive years, earning high recognition for cultivating the next generation of physicians. The corporation employs approximately 100 full-time physicians and is actively engaged in regional collaboration through dispatching physicians to neighboring hospitals. The facility features ample parking and barrier-free design, and medical consultations in English are available. Clinical services are primarily conducted on weekdays, with the hospital closed on weekends, public holidays, and during the year-end and New Year period.
