Over 83% of Japan’s public hospitals lost money in 2024, totaling $2.67 billion in deficits due to rising costs.
Over 83% of Japan’s public hospitals operated at a deficit in fiscal year 2024, the highest rate on record, with a combined loss of 395.2 billion yen ($2.67 billion), according to the internal affairs ministry.
The financial strain is driven by rising labor costs and higher prices for medications and supplies, which have outpaced revenue since 2023.
This marks a sharp reversal from a 2021 surplus of 325.6 billion yen, which was boosted by pandemic-era subsidies.
