Emergency and Critical Care Center

Emergency and Critical Care Center accepts about 2000～3000 seriously ill emergency patients, such as a multiple trauma, stroke, heart disease, burn, sepsis, and so on per year as a last hope of the emergency care of Miyazaki Prefecture. Moreover, we operate the Miyazaki doctor helicopter emergency care system (Miyazaki HEMS) in order to save as many life-threatened patients as possible. By Miyazaki HEMS, many patients, who were thought not to be saved by usual ground ambulance transport, were saved. Furthermore, we also established the doctor car system from this April and our pre-hospital emergency care system has become more powerful. We strive to cultivate staff development, research, and quality of medical examination in order to improve the emergency medical system. Our concept for education is to encourage the strongest general emergency physician.  Please join our team of outstanding physicians, and enjoy the programs and medical services.
