Division of General Pediatrics & Interdisciplinary Medicine

We provide comprehensive pediatric primary care, as well as undertaking clinical research in advanced pediatric medicine and educating young residents in the best practices for general pediatric care.

Our division is made up of 3chief physicians, 6 pediatric physicians, and provide comprehensive care for children at both inpatient wards and outpatient clinic. Pediatric residents under training of 3-year residency program are working with us steadily for better care for children and their family. We have undertaken clinical studies in various fields of pediatrics in our mission to improve general pediatric care.

We provide comprehensive primary care for every sick child through the management of full-time medical care and group-work care on the concept of “bio-psycho-social medical model”. We provide referrals to parents of sick children and consult with them throughout the process to ensure they receive appropriate advanced care.

We are providing medical care for children with acute illnesses in cooperation with emergency department, providing 1,800 inpatients care annually. We also provide comprehensive medical care for children with chronic conditions. Especially, our medical team is familiar with providing healthcare for “children with medical complexities” (in other words, children who have multiple medical conditions, or children who are requiring special medical care including tube feeding or medical respiratory supports). Over medical conditions of the child, we provide comprehensive medical care and coordination with other specialists in or out of our medical center.

We have developed a medical network program that encompasses major pediatric care facilities including our hospital, the 3rd Hospital at Tokyo Jikeikai Medical University, Ohashi Medical Center at Toho Medical University and the National Hospital Organization at Tokyo Medical Center. This network provides fulltime care for every sick child in the areas covered by these four facilities.
