The history of Nagoya University Hospital dates back to 1852, when the Owari Vaccination Center was founded. After the Meiji Restoration, it was followed by the establishment of a temporary hospital and medical school in 1871. In 1881, the facility’s name was changed to Aichi Medical School, which later became the forerunner of Nagoya University.
With the fundamental philosophy of contributing to society through medical care, education, and research, Nagoya University Hospital continually strives to implement its four core policies through daily activities: (1) providing safe and high-quality medical care; (2) fostering prominentmedical professionals; (3) pioneering next generation medical technologies and care; and (4) contributing to the community and society.
