Survey of Medical Institutions (Fundamental Statistical Survey) This survey has been conducted by the Ministry of
Health, Labour and Welfare since 1953, with the aim to clarify geographical distribution and conditions of hospitals and
clinics throughout the country. It had been conducted annually until 1972. In 1973, the ordinance was revised and the
survey was reorganized into the present form consisting of two parts: the static survey and the dynamic survey. The static
survey is conducted every three years with the aim to grasp the conditions of all the medical institutions, whereas the
dynamic survey is conducted monthly on the basis of the applications and reports of opening and closing submitted by
medical institutions.
The static survey covers all the hospitals and clinics established under the Medical Care Act, and conducted by the
method of entering questionnaires by the administrators of medical institutions through the channel of prefectures, cities
having health centres and special wards, and health centres. The reference date was December 31 until 1981, but it is
October 1 since 1984. The dynamic survey is conducted through the channel of prefectures, and cities having health centres
and special wards.
Hospital Reports The reports have been compiled every month since 1949 by the Ministry of Health, Labour and
Welfare in order to clarify the utilization of hospitals and clinics equipped with beds by the patients. Since 1973, the
situation of persons engaged as of October 1 is inquired by this survey.
The survey covers all the hospitals prescribed by the Medical Service Act, and is conducted by the method of entering
the questionnaires by the administrators of hospitals through prefectures, cities having health centres and special wards, and
health centres.
