Located in Tanabe City, Wakayama Prefecture, Kinan Hospital serves as a core regional medical facility offering comprehensive healthcare services, including internal medicine. Operating hours are weekdays from 8:30 AM to 5:15 PM, with closures on weekends, national holidays, and the New Year period. In April 2025, the hospital established a new "Women's Medicine Outpatient Clinic" to address women's health concerns across all life stages, from adolescence through menopause. This clinic is staffed by female physicians certified by the Japanese Society of Women's Health, available every Friday, and treats a wide range of conditions including dysmenorrhea, premenstrual syndrome, menopausal disorders, and pelvic organ prolapse. Appointments can be made without a referral letter. The hospital also accepts postpartum stays for those returning to their hometowns for childbirth, with reservations coordinated through the Regional Medical Cooperation Office. Facility features include barrier-free accessibility and diverse payment options such as credit cards, debit cards, and electronic payments. On-site parking is available for convenient vehicle access. The hospital has established support for multiple languages, including English and Korean, providing reassurance for international patients. Additionally, the hospital regularly conducts patient satisfaction surveys and publishes the results, demonstrating an ongoing commitment to improving healthcare quality. With a dedicated Medical Safety Management Office, the hospital maintains robust organizational systems for safe medical care delivery.
