Naya Clinic

About

Naya Clinic provides internal medicine services in Okagaki-machi, Onga-gun, Fukuoka Prefecture. Outpatient consultations are by appointment only from 9:00-12:00 and 13:00-17:00, with closures on Saturdays, Sundays, holidays, Obon, and year-end/New Year periods. The facility offers comprehensive amenities including parking, barrier-free access, and English language support, providing 24-hour, 365-day care through collaboration with visiting nursing services. The clinic operates in a renovated old barn, named after "naya," meaning "path of life" in India's Jain religion. The physician, who transitioned to home medical care after emergency medicine experience, values patients' autonomy in making decisions about their lives and bodies. The clinic aims to foster a community where patients remain connected to society, supported by family, community, and healthcare. With this philosophy, Naya Clinic supports patients to "live through" until their final moments, serving as an open sanctuary where patients can visit when needed, while balancing time to face illness with time to find respite from it.
