In principle, use of a mobile phone is prohibited because of potential impact on medical precision machines. If you have no choice but to bring a mobile phone with you, please shut off the phone.

You may use a mobile phone within the phone booth in front of the shop on the first floor, and a dining lounge in each ward. Pay a special attention so as not to annoy other patients when using the phone.

Attendance

According to a defined standard, nurses care for patients during hospitalization, and therefore no other attendance to help patients is necessary. However, attendance may be permitted only when the Principal Doctor admits it necessary because of symptoms of a patient and requests by a patient or a family member of a patient. If this is the case, please submit “Application for Attendance by a Family Member”. Please feel free to consult with a chief nurse in each ward.
