On September 1, 2010, the construction of the new site of Xiangnan Kamakura General Hospital was completed and moved to the new hospital in Kamakura Okamoto.

The new hospital is spacious, with a building area of 2.5 times that of the old hospital. It has 15 floors above the ground and 1 floor below the ground, and has 648 beds, including 619 movable beds. There is a helipad on the roof of the hospital building. To cope with the increasing number of ambulances and emergency patients over the years, the emergency department has been expanded to five times its original size, and dedicated elevators have been installed that directly connect the operating room and vascular catheterization room. The diagnosis and treatment departments of our hospital include: Internal Medicine, Cardiology, Neurology, Respiratory Medicine, Digestive Medicine, Circulatory Medicine, Allergy Department, Rheumatology Department, Pediatrics Department, Surgery, Plastic Surgery, Beauty Surgery, Brain Neurosurgery, Respiratory Surgery, Digestive Surgery, Cardiovascular Surgery, Dermatology, Urology Department, Anal Surgery, Obstetrics, Gynecology, Ophthalmology, Otolaryngology, Tracheoesophageal Surgery, Rehabilitation Department, Radiology Department, Anesthesiology Department, Pathological Diagnosis Department, Nephrology, Hematology, diabetes Endocrinology, Emergency, Cosmetology and Dermatology, Vascular Surgery, Breast Surgery, Tumor Surgery, Cerebrovascular Endoscopy, Oncology, Artificial Dialysis, Thoracic Surgery, Large Intestine Surgery, Gastric Surgery, Endoscopic Surgery, Endoscopic Endoscopy, Chinese Medicine, Vascular Medicine, Cardiology, Liver, Gallbladder, Pancreas, Psychiatry, Spine and Spine Surgery. Currently, our hospital has 1713 staff members (from April 1, 2018 to the present), including 346 doctors (228 on regular duty and 118 full-time), 660 nurses, 48 pharmacists, 55 diagnostic and therapeutic radiation technicians, 64 clinical examination technicians, 16 management nutritionists, 44 physiotherapists, and 26 occupational therapists. There are 11 speech audiologists, 32 clinical engineering technicians, 5 visual trainers, 8 treatment and laboratory coordinators, 10 social workers, 17 caregivers, 93 medical affairs, 28 general affairs departments, 10 diagnosis and treatment information administrators, 32 doctor office subsidies, 80 labor services, and 128 other high-end therapeutic devices introduced by the hospital, including 3.0 Tesla MRI, 320 cohort CT, And new radiation therapy equipment and tumor tomographic radiation therapy equipment. At the same time, in order to control the movement area of patients in a small range, the cardiovascular center, stroke center, and obstetric center of our hospital unify the examination, treatment, and inpatient departments of relevant departments on one floor, in order to achieve agile response to various conditions. The hospital is arranged from the 6th floor to the 14th floor in a corresponding department for each disease. The large ward with four bedrooms is equipped with a refrigerator and a TV. The beds are separated by partition wall furniture, giving the patient a full sense of personal space. The windowsill and table are set at the same height, which allows the patient to fully feel the outside scene while lying on the bed. The bathroom and shower room are also located in close proximity, making it very convenient. In order to win the full trust of people everywhere, our hospital is committed to providing reassuring and safe medical technology. At the same time, in order to create a good and meaningful work environment for hospital employees, we adopt“ An evaluation mechanism for employees to work harder”, This policy has been recognized by everyone.

In the future, we will continue to uphold the "Texas Association"; Only life is equal” This philosophy is achieved in the land of Kamakura“ Serve the people 24 hours a year&rdquo& ldquo; Do not reject emergency patients&rdquo& ldquo; Never charge a patient gratitude fee”. We pursue“ Develop hospitals under the supervision of patients”. Our hospital has obtained the Japanese International Patient Medical Service Certification (JMIP) related to foreign patients, making it the first hospital in Japan to receive this honor. JMIP is the abbreviation of Japan International Patient Medical Service Certification, and the Japanese name is the foreign patient medical certification system. After our hospital has obtained JMIP certification, it is expected that the number of foreign patients will increase. To ensure the peace of mind and safety of the foreign patient diagnosis environment, we have decided to carry out a new restructuring to fully prepare for the diagnosis of foreign patients. As part of environmental optimization, the hospital has decided to set up signs in English, Chinese, French, Russian and other relevant languages next to the elevator. In addition, other relevant signs in the hospital have also been changed to Japanese and English, with instructions, consent forms, menus, etc., all accompanied by English translations on the original basis. In addition, we have decided to develop translation steps and explore cooperation methods between departments to ensure smooth docking between all departments of the hospital. Although obtaining JMIP certification, it does not mean that the hospital's system is perfect, so it is also necessary to clarify and improve the issues that exist in the process of receiving foreign patients.

In addition, due to the consideration of patients' different nationalities, languages, and religions, how to ensure that there are no mistakes in serving foreign patients has become a major issue for all staff in the hospital to learn about the system, culture, education, and other aspects. The second floor of the hospital has set up an international medical service room, dedicated to receiving foreign patients, responsible for channeling patient information from home, ensuring that the situation of foreign patients is clear and not confused, and that there is no conflict with the diagnosis of domestic patients, so that patients are free from diagnostic difficulties. Based on the above points, our hospital adheres to the concept of life equality advocated by the Texas Association, and actively promotes the development of the hospital in the face of the times.
