About St. Luke's International Hospital
St. Luke's International Hospital stands as one of Japan's most distinguished private healthcare institutions, founded in 1901 by Dr. Rudolf Bolling Teusler, an American Episcopal Church missionary physician. Located in Tokyo's Chūō ward at Akashichō, this century-old hospital has evolved from a small community clinic into a leading acute care facility renowned for its comprehensive medical services and commitment to patient-centered care. The hospital's founding Christian principles continue to guide its mission of providing compassionate healthcare to all patients regardless of background. The hospital's infrastructure spans multiple buildings including the 11-story Main Building completed in 1992, the historic 7-story Old Building from 1933, a 3-story Annex, and the 7-story St. Luke's Birth Clinic added in 2010. With 539 total beds—including 520 in the Main Building and 19 in the Birth Clinic—the facility accommodates an average of 2,550 outpatients daily. The campus features 8 intensive care unit beds, 14 coronary care unit beds, 6 neonatal intensive care unit beds, and 23 palliative care beds, supported by state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment including PET/CT scanners, 256-slice CT, 3 Tesla MRI, and da Vinci robotic surgical systems. Key specializations include cardiovascular medicine through the Cardiovascular Center, oncology with dedicated medical and hemato-oncology services, gastroenterology, nephrology and kidney transplantation, neurology and neurosurgery, orthopedics and sports medicine, and comprehensive women's health. The hospital pioneered Japan's first fully private-room hospital design in 1992 and introduced palliative care services in 1997. Designated as a Regional Perinatal Medical Center in 2000 and a Regional Core Cancer Treatment Hospital in 2008, St. Luke's maintains 24/7 emergency services handling approximately 45,000 emergency visits annually. Accreditation credentials demonstrate the hospital's commitment to international quality standards. St. Luke's International Hospital achieved Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation in 2012, recognizing its adherence to global healthcare quality benchmarks. The facility also holds Magnet Recognition® for nursing excellence and operates on the Quality Index (QI) system for continuous service improvement. The hospital is designated as a Japan International Hospital (JIH), facilitating access for overseas patients. International patients benefit from comprehensive multilingual support including English-speaking physicians and staff, with interpretation services available for multiple languages. The International Department coordinates medical document translation, appointment scheduling, and care coordination for global visitors. Treatment costs at St. Luke's International Hospital typically reflect Japanese healthcare pricing, offering significant value compared to equivalent procedures in the United States while maintaining exceptional quality standards. Located in central Tokyo near Tsukiji and Ginza, the hospital provides convenient access via Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line and Yūrakuchō Line stations. The facility's proximity to major business and tourist districts makes it an ideal healthcare destination for international visitors and expatriates residing in Japan.
