- Emergency Medical Service on Closing Days and during Night Hours
At Toyota Kosei Hospital, we handle approximately 30,000 emergency outpatients and more than 7,000 ambulance arrivals per year.
Unlike general outpatient departments, the emergency department is for patients in serious condition in need of urgent care. If you need medical care during the night or on a holiday for a relatively minor problem such as a cold, please first visit a primary care doctor or a clinic that is open during night hours or on holidays.

Precautions
- Please take your health insurance certificate, recipient certificate, patient ID card of our hospital (if you have one), referral letter (if you have one) and Okusuri Techou (prescription booklet).
- Patients are seen not on a “first come first served” basis but according to the severity of their condition. Therefore, you may be seen after someone arriving later.
- Payment cannot be made by credit card or debit card. Please pay in cash.
- The emergency department provides first-aid treatment to patients in need of urgent care and prescribes the minimum required drugs only (for one or two days in principle). Patients are thus required to visit an outpatient department later for more specialized treatment.
- The emergency department cannot issue medical documents such as medical certificates. If you need a medical certificate, visit an outpatient department during the opening hours of the hospital and ask the doctor to issue one.
