About
Aikawa Sakamoto Internal Medicine Clinic is a community-based clinic located in Aikawamachi, Kurume City, Fukuoka Prefecture, offering services in internal medicine, respiratory medicine, allergology, and infectious disease medicine. Director Dr. Yuichi Sakamoto holds a medical doctorate and graduated from Jichi Medical University, with a distinguished career spanning remote hospitals in Aomori Prefecture, the Institute of Medical Science at the University of Tokyo, and research at Leiden University in the Netherlands. He has accumulated extensive clinical and research experience in the fields of infectious immunology and general medicine. The clinic's motto is to be "a consultation clinic that stands alongside patients from their perspective, like a one-stop advice center," emphasizing thorough, attentive dialogue that is often difficult to find at large hospitals. The clinic actively embraces cutting-edge technology, including the AI-powered medical device 'nodoca®' for influenza diagnosis. It also supports Kurume City's specific health checkups and a wide range of cancer screenings, including gastric cancer risk testing, colorectal cancer, lung cancer, and hepatitis virus screening, contributing to the community through preventive medicine. English-speaking services are available, and the facility is equipped with credit card and electronic payment options, barrier-free access, and ample parking, creating an accessible environment for a diverse range of patients. Consultations are held in two sessions—morning and afternoon—and online medical consultations are also available.
