Kamijima Town Uoshima National Health Insurance Clinic
About
The Kamijima-cho Uoshima National Health Insurance Clinic is located on Uoshima, a remote island in Kamijima-cho, Ochi-gun, Ehime Prefecture, serving as the primary medical facility for local residents. The clinic offers internal medicine services, with operating hours from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM. It is closed on Saturdays, Sundays, public holidays, and during the year-end and New Year period (December 29 to January 3). Note that on Thursday afternoons, the clinic's physician travels to the Kamijima-cho Takaigami Remote Area Clinic for outreach consultations, so availability during those hours should be confirmed in advance. Given its location on a remote island, the clinic serves as a community-rooted medical hub, providing a valuable facility where residents can receive routine internal medicine care on the island. English-language services are available, making it a relatively accessible option for non-Japanese speakers. The facility is also equipped with barrier-free amenities, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for wheelchair users and those with physical disabilities. As a frontline provider of remote island healthcare, the clinic continues to support the health of the local community and serves as a reliable resource for anyone requiring medical attention while visiting or staying on Uoshima.
