      **第一項**  医療法人は、前条第一項の期間内に、その債権者に対し、異議があれば一定の期間内に述べるべき旨を公告し、かつ、判明している債権者に対しては、各別にこれを催告しなければならない。ただし、その期間は、二月を下ることができない。
      <sup>art-60-5/par-1 · https://japanlaw.org/en/medical-care-act/art-60-5/par-1 · https://japanlaw.org/l/323AC0000000205/art-60-5/par-1</sup>
      A medical corporation, within the period set forth in paragraph (1) of the preceding Article, is to make a public notice to its creditors to the effect that any objection, if any, should be stated within a certain period of time, and must notify each known creditor separately. However, such period is not to be less than two months.

      **第二項**  債権者が前項の期間内に吸収分割に対して異議を述べなかつたときは、吸収分割を承認したものとみなす。
      <sup>art-60-5/par-2 · https://japanlaw.org/en/medical-care-act/art-60-5/par-2 · https://japanlaw.org/l/323AC0000000205/art-60-5/par-2</sup>
      If creditors do not object to the absorption-type split within the period set forth in the preceding paragraph, it is deemed that they have approved the absorption-type split.

      **第三項**  債権者が異議を述べたときは、医療法人は、これに弁済をし、若しくは相当の担保を提供し、又はその債権者に弁済を受けさせることを目的として信託会社等に相当の財産を信託しなければならない。ただし、吸収分割をしてもその債権者を害するおそれがないときは、この限りでない。
      <sup>art-60-5/par-3 · https://japanlaw.org/en/medical-care-act/art-60-5/par-3 · https://japanlaw.org/l/323AC0000000205/art-60-5/par-3</sup>
      When a creditor has made an objection, the medical corporation is to pay or provide reasonable security to the creditor or place reasonable property with a trust company, etc. for the purpose of having the creditor receive payment; provided, however, that this does not apply when the absorption-type split is unlikely to harm the creditor.
