A summary of fields in the published hospital facility record. The facility name and other source proper names remain in Japanese unless the source supplies an English or romanized form.
Source-listed English or romanized name: kochi health sciences center
This value is shown as supplied by the source. MedOpen does not independently certify or rewrite source-supplied facility names and does not machine-translate or guess them.
This public record does not assess healthcare quality, treatment outcomes, rank, recommendation or current ability to accept patients. A listed service or notification does not establish current availability.
Facility overview
Reported beds
620The total is from the facility survey. The source field does not say whether beds are licensed, staffed, available or occupied. If the field is blank or unspecified, this page does not infer why.

About these comparison conditions
The structural cohort and the facilities eligible for this metric can differ. Facilities without a verified match or an observed value are not treated as zero.
This is descriptive context. It does not establish equivalent clinical services or patient populations, and it is not a measure of quality or superiority.
This uses a separate dataset and reference date from the FY2025 ward report.
Differences between published reports
Among 16 wards with a stable source ward code, name and facility link, 52 observed values differed between releases. These are publication differences; no real-world cause is inferred.

Explore notifications listed in the official Regional Bureau publication. MedOpen groups them into categories based on Japan’s medical fee schedule.
We couldn’t confirm a notification for this hospital in the latest covered publication. This does not prove that no notification exists.
We use sections of Japan’s medical fee schedule as categories. These MedOpen analytical groups are not official ministry categories and do not show which services a hospital provides.
Changes across published snapshots
This compares published snapshots. First observed means first found in the MedOpen archive, not a filing date. A prior item missing from the latest snapshot does not prove withdrawal or cancellation.
No facility-level change counts are shown because no notification was observed for this hospital in the latest published snapshot. This does not establish filing status or a change.

Published data over time
An FY2023 hospital-level MDC table is published, but MHLW’s FY2023 method uses the FY2022 DPC classification and this release uses the FY2024 classification. Without an official continuity mapping between those classifications, year-over-year changes are not shown.
Source and method
Source owner: Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare
These values come from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare’s published DPC data. They describe only the published DPC records and do not represent all hospital activity, care quality or treatment outcomes.
