How this department works
-
1
Come here only when the problem cannot wait
This department is intended for patients with symptoms that require medical attention outside regular clinic hours
and cannot reasonably wait until the next day. -
2
We provide initial after-hours assessment
Both internal and surgical problems may be assessed here. Depending on your condition,
the doctor may perform examination, basic testing, and initial treatment on the same visit. -
3
Treatment is temporary and limited
This department provides urgent short-term care only. Medication, if prescribed,
is usually limited to 1–2 days. Ongoing treatment must be continued at a local clinic or appropriate department. -
4
You may be referred elsewhere for follow-up
After initial assessment, you may be advised to visit a local clinic, return during regular hours,
or continue care in another appropriate department, depending on your condition.
Emergency symptoms
This department is not intended for life-threatening emergencies.
If you have severe breathing difficulty, chest pain, loss of consciousness, signs of stroke, severe dehydration, or other emergency symptoms,
please go directly to the Emergency Department or call emergency services (119 in Japan).
