However, as the years passed, sections of the structure exceeded their intended life span. Furthermore, the outpatient division was unable to keep pace with the growing number of patients, and it became apparent that the hospital would need to respond to the demands of the new era in healthcare. Therefore, a program to renovate and expand the hospital was launched in 2003. As a result, the outpatient division and the East Wing, which houses the patient ward, were completed in end of March 2006, and began operating in May of the same year. Furthermore, seismic safety renovations for existing facilities were completed in late January 2007.

The promenade and parking structure which represented the final phase of the renovation and expansion program were completed at the end of fiscal year 2007. Nevertheless, as the primary hospital of the City of Hiroshima, we will continue efforts such as upgrading our emergency medical services to provide even better healthcare for the community.
