About
Wakkanai Municipal Hospital, located in the heart of Wakkanai City at the northernmost tip of Hokkaido, is a public general hospital providing comprehensive medical care across the northern Hokkaido region. The hospital offers more than 20 departments, including specialized fields in internal medicine such as gastroenterology, cardiology, oncology, hematology, hepatology, and neurology, as well as surgery, vascular surgery, pediatrics, orthopedics, obstetrics and gynecology, ophthalmology, otolaryngology, dermatology, urology, neuropsychiatry, anesthesiology, radiology, rehabilitation, and a dialysis center. In northern Hokkaido, where the population is sparse and medical options are limited, this hospital stands as a valuable institution where patients can access such a diverse range of specialized care under one roof. Outpatient services operate in two sessions—morning and afternoon—with both new and returning patients accepted from 8:30 to 11:00 AM and from 1:00 to 4:00 PM, with consultations beginning at 9:00 AM. The hospital provides English-language support and accepts credit cards and electronic payments, with ample parking available on-site. The hospital is closed on Saturdays, Sundays, public holidays, and during the year-end and New Year period (December 31 to January 5), with services primarily offered on weekdays.
