Regional Cancer Treatment Center Hospital

Regional Cancer Treatment Center Hospital

On February 8, 2008, the Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare designated us as a “Regional Cancer Center Hospital”. This system was established in February 2006 based on one of the strategic goals of the government’s third 10-year comprehensive strategy against cancer for FY2004 to FY2014, which is to “equalize” the quality of cancer care all over Japan. The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (MHLW) dictate that “Regional Cancer Care Center Hospitals” and “Prefectural Cancer Care Center Hospitals” are to be designated by the Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare based on recommendations from prefectures.
