Charter of Patient Rights and Responsibilities

Tama-Hokubu Medical Center, operated byTokyo Metropolitan Health and Hospitals Corporationn, while proactively advancing collaboration with local medical institutions by such means as conducting medical care for patients referred by medical institutions, strives to practice patient-centered medical care that includes thoroughgoing implementation of informed consent in medical care, as well as providing referrals to other medical institutions according to symptoms and providing access to medical records as a general principle. This is because we consider medical care to be a process by which the patient and the medical-care provider overcome disease while standing on equal footing, establishing a relationship of trust, and engaging in mutual cooperation.
Under the concept of patient-centered medical care, patients have the right to receive medical care while maintaining human dignity.
At Tama-Hokubu Medical Center, together with further advancing this patient-centered medical care, we hereby establish a Charter of Patient Rights and Responsibilities with the aim of becoming a hospital trusted by patients.
