Types of Healthcare Facilities in Japan - INI

Healthcare facilities in Japan are classified based on the Medical Care Act according to bed count, function, and medical departments. Facilities with 20 or more beds are defined as hospitals, while those with 19 or fewer beds are clinics. Further classifications include functional categories such as advanced treatment hospitals, regional medical support hospitals, and general hospitals, as well as department-based classifications like internal medicine, surgery, and pediatrics. These classifications play a crucial role in organizing healthcare delivery systems and helping patients choose appropriate medical facilities.
