At Mitsui Memorial Hospital, a leading general hospital in Tokyo, we devote ourselves to the betterment of society as a whole by offering medical services in a spirit of respect, comradeship and care. This approach springs from the fact that we respect and value the lives of our patients above all else. It enables doctor and patient to develop both a level of communication that embraces the joys of life together with its uncertainties, and a sense of mutual fulfillment and satisfaction. A feeling of companionship and cooperation is, after all, essential for any important achievement and for the most productive sharing of knowledge and understanding.
