My name is Hideyuki Takaoka and I took over responsibilities as Director of Takatsuki General Hospital from Dr.Yoshiyuki Naito in April 2017. I was born and raised in nearby Suita and Ibaraki, doing my medical residency at Osaka Saiseikai Nakatsu Hospital with the aim of becoming a cardiologist.
From medical school I'd always taken an active interest in ischemic heart disease and heart failure, and in 2003 I moved to Kobe Red Cross Hospital to tackle the challenges of regional care. Kobe Red Cross Hospital is mainly a critical care hospital charged with secondary emergency care but it also provides tertiary medical care together with Hyogo Emergency Medical Center. There I had valuable experience in the area of critical care.
this solid foundation, I moved to Takatsuki General Hospital in 2006. The ten years spent in a hospital so close to my hometown were both professionally and personally rewarding.
As the director I keenly feel the responsibility of leading a institution so important to the community, and will make every effort to earn the trust and satisfaction of patients and their families.
The reconstruction of Takatsuki General Hospital facility was completed in May 2018. It took eight years to complete the modernization, upgrading our facility one section at a time. We do appreciate the patience and support of the local community.
There are a lot of improvement: Aijinkai Rehabilitation Hospital and Takatsuki General Hospital are now connected by pedestrian walkway. On the third floor of Aijinkai Rehabilitation Hospital is a public space where local residents and medical personnel can utilize. Meeting rooms and a new library are available to registered doctors.
Our mission is to enhance medical care not only in perinatal and pediatric area which are our strong asset, but also in a wide range of areas including critical care, cancer treatment and emergency care.
In addition, we aim to make a positive contribution to society through the launch of the “Child and Family Support Center” that prevents child abuse and promotes pre-natal and post-part infant health through programs sanctioned by the Osaka prefectural government .
Takatsuki General Hospital will continue to develop and evolve so as to accomplish our mission of providing the local community with the topmost medical care throughout every life stage.
