The Japan Hospital Association (一般社団法人 日本病院会) is a longstanding non‑profit healthcare organization based in Chiyoda‑ku, Tokyo, representing hospitals and hospital management across Japan. Founded on June 24, 1951, the association comprises thousands of member hospitals and works to advance hospital operations, define professional conduct standards, and support improvements in medical ethics and patient care.
