Since Ito Hospital’s establishment in 1936, we have remained committed to our original founding spirit and provided care for thyroid disorders. In 2022, we celebrate our 85th anniversary. Over the decades, medical science and treatment have progressed dramatically, and we have correspondingly developed specialized care.

For every disease and infection, accurate diagnosis at an early stage is of the utmost importance. This is particularly true for thyroid diseases. It is crucial to meet with a specialist at the proper time.
By doing so, one can limit dangerous situations, skillfully manage disease, and live a healthy and full life. If you are even slightly concerned about your thyroid, we recommend that you consult with your primary doctor and, when necessary, obtain a referral to our specialists.

Drawing on our long experience as an institution specializing in thyroid diseases, Ito Hospital works to raise awareness and educate all people suffering from thyroid disorders through written and broadcast media. We took note of emerging and rapidly advancing information technologies and focused our efforts on the internet early on. As a result, we have been using our hospital’s homepage to disseminate information regarding disease for over twenty years.

Following the swift progress in medical science and care, we frequently update the content of our website.
We now reach people living all over the world, providing accurate medical information in English, Chinese, Korean, and Russian.

The contents of Ito Hospital’s website are derived from our extensive record of providing specialized care. In addition to doctors, all medical staff who work at Ito Hospital participate in the production of this website, including nurses, pharmacists, clinical laboratory technicians, radiological technicians, and registered dieticians. Clerical staff work with collective efforts and act in a supervisorial role. Our website can be understood as the Home Medical Guide: Thyroid Edition.

We strive to use clear and accessible language so that people who are just learning about an organ called the thyroid can easily understand its function and diseases.
Please consult this website if you have even a small concern about your thyroid.
We would be honored if our originally produced website can help people who suffer from thyroid problems.
