Message from the Director of the Emergency Center

I am Seiji Ogita, appointed as the Director of the Emergency Center at Kano General Hospital in April 2021. Throughout my career as a neurosurgeon and emergency physician, I have focused on providing comprehensive care.

As Japan’s population ages, the need for holistic systemic management in emergency medicine is becoming more critical. Our strength lies in our agility and teamwork, allowing us to bridge the gaps between specialized departments and support community medicine effectively.

About the Emergency Center

Even during holidays and nighttime hours, we maintain a robust medical system with physicians, nursing staff, laboratory technicians, radiographers, and pharmacists on-site, ensuring we are fully prepared to respond swiftly to any case.
