About
Kitasato University Medical Center, located in Kitamoto City, Saitama Prefecture, is a university hospital serving as the core of regional healthcare, offering a wide range of departments from internal medicine to surgery. The hospital is equipped with 28 departments including internal medicine, hematology, neurology, cardiology, gastroenterology, neurosurgery, thoracic surgery, orthopedics, obstetrics and gynecology, and psychiatry, as well as emergency medicine and anesthesiology, providing advanced and specialized medical care. The hospital aims to be a "reliable hospital" deeply connected to the local community, practicing holistic medicine under the motto of Dr. Kitasato Shibasaburo: "pioneering spirit, gratitude, wisdom and practice, and indomitable perseverance." Adjacent to the facility is the "Omura Memorial Hall," commemorating the research achievements of Dr. Satoshi Omura, recipient of the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, lending the hospital a character as an academic and research hub as well. Since its founding, the hospital has upheld the concept of "a hospital with art," and is also distinguished by an art collection of approximately 1,700 works—including pieces donated by renowned painters—displayed throughout the facility. English-language assistance is available, along with support for credit cards, debit cards, and electronic payments, as well as ample parking and a barrier-free design. Outpatient registration is conducted primarily on weekday mornings, and since hours vary by department, it is recommended to confirm in advance.
