Osaka International Cancer Institute

The 500 bed PFI funded hospital is an advanced treatment institution mainly treating cancer and cardiovascular diseases. The hospital moved from its old deteriorating facility to a new site near Osaka Castle Park with good vistas.
The facility has a “research” function for finding methods to improve treatment outcomes and a “Cancer Control Center” dedicated to preventive and early detection functions by collating data from cancer patients in Osaka Prefecture as well as normal hospital functions.
The wards are arranged in a twin-X plan that affords a sense of security to patient and good vistas to Osaka Castle.
The outpatient reception is located on the two hospital streets facing the atrium providing easy to navigate spaces.
A center conference unit is placed near the staff elevators on floors 8 to 13 to facilitate cross collaboration between staff. The Castle Lounge with a vista towards the castle is provided on the 6th floor for staff to relax.
