Inoue Hospital
About
Inoue Hospital, located on Uwasawadori in Hyogo Ward, Kobe City, is a 56-bed medical care facility that has been supporting the health of local residents through collaboration with neighboring medical institutions since its establishment in 2002. It accepts patients who have difficulty being discharged after acute care hospital treatment for conditions such as pneumonia, with pre-consultation sessions on treatment policies providing explanations that fully consider the wishes of the patients and their families. The hospital also places emphasis on outpatient care, offering general internal medicine, gastroenterology, and orthopedic surgery for conditions common in elderly patients such as osteoporosis and fractures. For gastroscopic examinations, the director, a specialist of the Japanese Society of Gastroenterology and the Japan Gastroenterological Endoscopy Society, performs the procedures, accommodating transnasal gastroscopy which is relatively painless. For patients whose condition has stabilized, post-discharge home visit medical care and admission to a geriatric health services facility within the same group are available, providing seamless support from medical care to nursing care. In terms of access, the hospital is approximately a 5-minute walk from the west exit of Minatogawakoen Station on the subway and the west exit of Minatogawa Station on the Kobe Electric Railway, and approximately a 3-minute walk from the "Uwasawa 4-chome" bus stop on Kobe City Bus Route 9. The facility is equipped with English language support, acceptance of credit cards and electronic payments, six parking spaces, and barrier-free accessibility.
