About
Sapporo City Hospital, located in Chuo-ku, Sapporo, is a public hospital operated by the City of Sapporo. Among its clinical departments is Infectious Disease Internal Medicine, providing specialized medical care for infectious diseases. Outpatient reception is available on weekdays from 8:45 to 11:00 in the morning and from 13:00 to 15:00 in the afternoon; the hospital is closed on weekends, public holidays, and during the year-end and New Year period. One of the hospital's notable features is its multilingual support, including English and Korean, creating an environment where patients unfamiliar with Japanese can communicate comfortably with staff. The hospital also accepts credit cards and electronic payments, offering a high level of convenience in terms of payment options. On-site parking and a barrier-free design make the facility accessible to wheelchair users and those with physical disabilities. The hospital has received accreditation under the Hospital Function Evaluation (3rdG:ver3.0) by the Japan Council for Quality Health Care, a public interest incorporated foundation, and has continuously met the required standards since its first accreditation in 2003. A renewal accreditation was obtained in May 2024, with an independent third-party organization confirming that high standards are maintained across four evaluation areas, including the promotion of patient-centered care and the practice of quality medicine. This hospital stands as one of the key regional medical institutions, with a well-established system that places strong emphasis on medical quality and patient safety.
