Fully In Advance Outpatient Department Appointment System

Advanced appointments are required to accept patients who want to have any medical treatment in any outpatient department.
A referral form is required for any medical treatment in the Neurosurgery Department.
If a patient comes to our hospital directly without a referral, we cannot provide any medical care to that patient on that day.  Patients should then make an appointment for their next visit.

To make an appointment, one’s private medical doctor or a patient him/herself should send a fax form to the outpatient department appointment center [TEL：096-373-5973、FAX：096-373-5577、e-mail：yoyaku-center@fc.kuh.kumamoto-u.ac.jp].  After we receive an appointment request form, we organize the day and the time when a doctor is available, and call the patient directly.
