Sumaura Hospital
About
Located in Suma Ward, Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture, Sumaura Hospital is a medical care facility providing chronic care medicine with internal medicine as its department. Many patients hospitalized at this hospital have difficulty with communication and oral intake, and there are almost no patients who can return home. Most outpatients are elderly or receive some form of care, and when they become functionally dependent, they are forced to entrust decisions about treatment policies and care locations to others. Against this backdrop, the hospital provides medical care that respects the values of patients and the wishes of their families. In terms of facilities, there is a parking lot with barrier-free access, and the hospital accepts debit cards and electronic payments. English services are also available. No information is provided about business hours, and the hospital is closed on Saturdays, Sundays, holidays, and year-end and New Year holidays. As a place where patients and their families spend their final moments, the hospital continues to ask what it means to provide chronic care medicine and how it should be practiced.
