 The Ehime University Faculty of Medicine opened in 1973, and this was followed three years later, in October 1976, by the opening of Ehime University Hospital. The hospital, which started out with 15 departments and 320 beds, has over the last 40 years, become a hospital that provides treatment, which is rmly rooted in the region; the core hospital in Ehime Prefecture with an ethos of “Give back to the patients what has been learned from the patients”. The hospital has developed in leaps and bounds ‒ it now has 24 departments, 44 central care facilities, 644 beds, and a total sta complement of just under 1600 people, with around 500 doctors and 700 nurses, all working hard to provide top-class care. The aims of Ehime University Hospital are ① to be a hospital which is trusted and loved by the people of Ehime, ② to nurture medical professionals who see things from the perspective of the patient, and ③ to create medical expertise which was rst nurtured in Ehime and is then able to spread its wings around the world. We treat our patients with friendship and compassion rather than deference because in order to cure an illness the doctor and patient must see things from the same perspective and face the illness in a spirit of cooperation. We provide patients with top-class medical treatment, but the patient’s eagerness and cooperation, and the understanding of the patient’s family are essential for making the treatment even more eective. In order to achieve our rst target, of being a hospital both trusted and loved by the people of Ehime, we must provide medical treatment which is not only the newest and the best, but also safe and secure. It is to this end that we implement a range of systematic initiatives to provide safe, patient-centered medical treatment. All medical sta work to improve their skills every day, in addition to which incidents are reported on and information is shared, medical mishap prevention policies are rigidly adhered to, medical mishaps are dealt with appropriately, medical safety education and seminars are held, and we have compiled a medical safety management manual. With regard to our second target, to nurture medical professionals who see things from the perspective of the patient, we don’t stop at simple medical knowledge and techniques attained in under-graduate and graduate studies, we aim to produce medical sta who are endowed with great humanity and insight. An extension of this is our determination to improve patient service, which led us to establish our Total Medical Support Center in 2013. The rst of its kind in Japan, the center helps provide patients with a pleasant hospital experience, post-discharge follow-up monitoring, and helps to compile a hospitalization and discharge plan, which is in keeping with the wishes of the patient. In other words, we do not simply implement medical treatment techniques, but we involve a wide range of other professions and disciplines to enable the hospital to function as a habitat for the patient and to provide the highest level of care for patients. This initiative is highly regarded throughout the country. To promote research is also one of our important missions. With regard to our third target, create medical expertise which was rst nurtured in Ehime and is then able to spread its wings around the world, we are promoting translational research in various elds to create a new global-level medicine. To improve the quality of clinical research, we have newly established the Clinical Therapeutic Trial Center, the Division of Clinical Research Quality Management, the Center for Clinical Research Data and Biostatistics, and the Division of Clinical Research COI Management department, as well as enhancing the clinical research system. In addition to these aims, to respond to large-scale disasters such as the Nankai Trough Earthquake is also our mission. Our hospital will be responsible for how well we provide stable medical care when a disaster occurs as the possibility of a huge earthquake occurring in the next 30 years is estimated to be around 70%. We provide every possible means of medical support such as constant large-scale disaster drills and stockpile warehouses for medicines and medical instruments on campus, in order to function as a core disaster relief hospital. At Ehime University Hospital we intend to work tirelessly for the happiness of our patients and our contribution to the community of the region.Director of Ehime University HospitalDr. Hiromasa MiuraMessage from the Director06
