Ageo Central General Hospital

What Ageo Central General Hospital does

Ageo Central General Hospital (上尾中央総合病院) is a private acute care general hospital located at 1-10-10 Kashiwazari, Ageo City, Saitama Prefecture, Japan. Founded in 1964 and operated by Medical Corporation AiYukai (医療法人社団愛友会), the hospital functions as a designated regional medical support hospital and regional cancer treatment coordination hub for the central Saitama medical region, serving a catchment of approximately 530,000 residents. The facility operates 733 beds across 51 clinical departments, employs 279 full-time physicians, and processes an average of 1,476 outpatient visits and 623 inpatient admissions per day, with 19 residency positions that have been fully matched annually since 2014. The hospital delivers 7,900 surgeries and accepts 8,300 emergency ambulance transports annually.

The hospital's clinical platform centers on advanced minimally invasive and interventional care, anchored by Intuitive Surgical's Da Vinci Xi and SP robotic systems — the SP single-port system being the first deployment in Saitama Prefecture (2023). Oncology services span surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, photodynamic therapy, and — from January 2025 — photoimmunotherapy (Aliminos) for head and neck cancer, the first such implementation in Saitama. A 24-hour emergency department with ICU, CCU, HCU, and pediatric/infectious disease wards supports acute and critical care. Five mobile health examination vehicles extend preventive-care delivery across the Greater Kanto area, supplementing on-site health checkup, Ningen Dock, and cancer screening programs.

Revenue is generated through fees for outpatient consultations, hospitalizations, surgical procedures, emergency care, and health checkups, with the vast majority reimbursed under Japan's national health insurance system. Corporate and occupational health contracts — delivered via the mobile fleet — form a secondary revenue stream. The hospital is funded entirely through operating cash flows within the AiYukai medical corporation; it is privately held, not publicly traded, and has no disclosed external equity, debt, or acquisition activity. Leadership transitioned on April 1, 2026, with Kojima Kenichiro assuming the director role.
