About
Located in Kuratsuki Higashi, Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture, Ishikawa Prefectural Central Hospital is a leading general hospital that has supported regional healthcare as the "last fortress" of Ishikawa's medical system since its establishment in 1948. The hospital covers a wide range of medical departments, encompassing both internal medicine and surgical specialties. Patients can receive highly specialized medical care at this single facility, including Internal Medicine, Infectious Diseases, Hematology, Cardiology, and Gastroenterology, as well as Neurosurgery, Cardiovascular Surgery, Breast and Endocrine Surgery, Pediatric Surgery, Neonatal Medicine, and Obstetrics. The hospital emphasizes collaboration with local medical institutions and provides advanced specialized care for cases that are difficult to treat at general medical facilities. Notably, the hospital designates emergency medicine, perinatal care, and cancer treatment as priority areas, operating five specialized centers where teams of specialists practice collaborative healthcare. As a tertiary emergency medical institution and a designated infectious disease medical facility, it also serves as the only core disaster base hospital in the prefecture, playing a central role in regional healthcare both in normal times and during emergencies. The facility is barrier-free and has parking available, creating an accessible environment for patients with physical disabilities and those traveling from distant areas.
