About

Colonoscopy is also available, allowing direct observation of the entire large intestine to diagnose conditions such as polyps and colorectal cancer. In terms of medical services, a two-physician system comprising the director and university physicians is implemented on Thursday afternoons to reduce waiting times. Regarding facilities, services allowing free access to magazines and manga via smartphones and tablets have been introduced, creating a comfortable environment for waiting periods.
