  • English-speaking support available
  • Friendly and caring staff
  • Professional medical care
  • This major public hospital in Osaka’s Chuo Ward handles everything from routine care to complex emergencies. They’re particularly known for their emergency services, maternity care, and specialized departments like ophthalmology. While their 3.4/5 rating reflects some typical big-hospital challenges, they’re one of the few facilities that regularly accepts emergency cases late at night. The staff maintains professional standards despite high patient volumes. Language support is basic but workable – they use translation apps and have some English-speaking staff, though you might want to bring someone to help with complex discussions.

    Patient Feedback

    Patients praise the hospital’s willingness to accept emergency cases and the professional competence of medical staff. Maternity care receives positive mentions, particularly for handling high-risk pregnancies. While some note communication challenges, staff make efforts to bridge language gaps. The food quality during inpatient stays gets surprisingly positive comments.

    English Language Proficiency

    Basic English support is available, though it varies by department. Staff commonly use translation apps to communicate with international patients. Some doctors speak basic English, but it's recommended to bring a translator for complex consultations. Emergency services can handle English-speaking patients with translation tools.
