"The University of Tokushima Hospital promises peace of mind to the people of Tokushima Prefecture."

Thank you very much for visiting the website of the University of Tokushima Hospital.
In April 2025, I assumed the position of Director of Tokushima University Hospital.
My commitment to the people of Tokushima Prefecture is to "promise peace of mind with regard to your health." Traveling to other prefectures is difficult in Tokushima Prefecture. Being treating for an illness is difficult in other prefectures, and full treatment of diseases needs to be done within the prefecture. The University of Tokushima Hospital is the only university hospital in Tokushima Prefecture and is obliged to "provide the highest level of world-class treatment" to the people of Tokushima Prefecture. As the last refuge of the people of Tokushima Prefecture, all of us at the Hospital are committed to providing the highest quality and latest medical care.

In order to continue providing quality medical care, we are clearly defining roles and enhancing cooperation with affiliated hospitals.
The Reporting on Primary Care system started in April of this year. We will help to promote the health of local residents as a prefecture-wide effort in cooperation with hospitals and clinics in Tokushima Prefecture. Specifically, we intend to further enhance the Medical Zone, which is a partnership with Tokushima Prefectural Central Hospital, and develop it into a core organization within Tokushima Prefecture that "promises peace of mind" to the residents of Tokushima Prefecture.

The role of a university hospital as an academic institution is to "create the diagnostic techniques and treatments of the future." We aim to develop better next-generation medicine to deal with diseases that cannot be treated with medicine at its current level.
The University of Tokushima campus is awash with science as the home of the Faculty of Medicine, the Faculty of Dentistry, and the Faculty of Pharmacy, in addition the Department of Medical Nutrition and the School of Health Sciences. Moreover, the University of Tokushima is a premier environment for medical innovation, with its advanced collaborations in medical engineering, medical optics, and medical and agricultural sciences.
We will continue to take on new challenges in medicine and we will inform the public of our new projects in various ways in the future in order to become "a hospital that Tokushima's residents boast of to the rest of the world."
We kindly ask for the warm support and encouragement of the people in this prefecture as they become familiar with, encourage, and aid us.

Koichi Sairyo, Director, Tokushima University Hospital
