It started as an advanced treatment hospital; it was approved as a General Perinatal Maternal and Child Medical Center in March 2006, as a Disaster Response Hospital in October 2006, as an Emergency and Critical Care Center in February 2008, and as a Cancer Care Hospital in April 2010.
Moreover, it was approved as an Advanced Emergency and Critical Care Center in May 2012 and as an Osaka Prefecture Main Hospital for the Treatment of Allergic Diseases in June 2018, solidifying its position as a main hospital in the Kitakawachi area.
KMU Hospital is a 3-minute walk and conveniently accessible from Hirakatashi Station on the Keihan Line and it has facilities with a total floor space of 71,851m2 on premises of 31,612m2 , with the waterfront area of the Yodogawa Riverside Park behind it. In terms of our medical care system, we have been actively promoting the development of centers where multiple departments cooperate to provide medical care. We have recently established the Cancer Treatment Center, the Pediatric Medical Center, the Kidney Center, the Heart Center, the Clinical Genetics Center, the Allergy Center, the Intractable Diseases Center, and the Pain Center.
In terms of facilities, we are striving to enhance our medical capabilities and to improve conditions; we introduced the da Vinci surgery-assisting robot in June 2013 and we created a state-of-the-art hybrid operating room for advanced and safe surgery in June 2018. We will continue to further enhance our medical care functions and strive to provide safe and reliable latest medical care to fulfil our social responsibilities as a university hospital, a hospital which is open to all people and treat them equally.
To delineate this Hospital’s functions and roles as a university hospital, the hospital name was changed from “Kansai Medical University Hirakata Hospital” to “Kansai Medical University Hospital” in April 2016. In April 2018, it was approved as a main hospital supporting regional medical care centering on acute-stage medical care in the Kitakawachi secondary catchment area by the Japan Council for Quality Health Care.
