We have excellent support for mothers and children throughout perinatal period and provide fertility treatment, and our Genomic medicine department offers outpatient genetic counseling.

We strive to become a core clinical research hospital as a hospital of National Research and Development Agency. Taking advantage of our privileged environment, we work together with the Research Institute, Center for Clinical Sciences, and Bureau of International Health Cooperation to fulfill our prominent roles in clinical research and investigator-initiated clinical trials at an international level.
