A prefecture-sponsored meeting to discuss the future of the National Hospital Organization's Numata Hospital in Numata City was held in Numata City on the 7th. Twenty-five people, including mayors and medical professionals from the Tone-Numata region, attended the meeting and confirmed that they would proceed with concrete discussions on the hospital's future, including whether to continue or close it.
The discussions were initiated due to the hospital's chronic operating deficits and continued difficulty in securing doctors.
This marks the first time in Japan that the National Hospital Organization has held discussions with local stakeholders, including on the hospital's future.
