When performing upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (gastroscopy), we thoroughly examine the following points.

  1. ・Health check before the examination
  2. - Regular ventilation, opening doors, and using air purifiers
  3. ・Alcohol disinfection of equipment, beds, etc. after each customer
  4. ・Maintaining distance between customers in the recovery room
  5. ・ Thorough provision of protective equipment for staff

Respiratory function tests have been suspended in principle for the time being as they may cause aerosols to spread to the surrounding area and lead to the spread of infection.

◆ Initiatives for employees

  1. - Daily temperature management for all staff, including on holidays (no one will come to work if they have a fever above normal), all staff must wear masks at all times, and they must wash their hands and disinfect their hands with alcohol-based disinfectant before and after testing.

◆ Request to customers

  1. ・Please wear a mask to prevent droplet infection (if you don't have one, we will provide one for you)
    * Based on a notice from the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare,We ask that you continue to wear a mask inside the hospital even after March 2023, 3.
    *If you are symptomatic and are unable to wear a mask, we may refuse to see you in order to prevent the spread of infection. Thank you for your understanding.
  2. -If a CT scan or chest X-ray performed on the day of your appointment shows findings that suggest COVID-19, we will ask you to cancel (or postpone) your appointment at the doctor's discretion.
