St. Luke's International Hospital

St. Luke's International Hospital is a premier private hospital located in the Tsukiji district of Tokyo, Japan. Founded in 1901 by Dr. Rudolf Teusler, it has established itself as a leader in international-standard healthcare and was the first in Japan to receive Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation. The hospital operates as a major teaching facility under St. Luke's International University, integrating clinical practice with advanced medical research and nursing education. It offers a comprehensive range of services, including specialized centers for oncology, cardiovascular disease, and perinatology. Known for its patient-centered approach, the institution played a critical role in historical events, such as the 1995 Tokyo subway sarin attack, and continues to be a top choice for both domestic and international patients in Japan.
