Sakai Rumi Clinic
About
Located in Mikagehoncho, Higashinada-ku, Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture, Saita Lumi Clinic, a medical corporation, is a clinic providing internal medicine services. A notable feature of this clinic is the implementation of home hemodialysis (HHD). When starting home hemodialysis, the clinic conducts outpatient consent and explanations, then provides training during regular dialysis sessions, so there is no need to take time off work or be hospitalized. During training, patients add their own notes to a basic manual created by the clinic, completing their own personalized manual. Training progresses stepwise: Step 1 covers preparation and operations during dialysis, Step 2 covers needle insertion and recovery to ending procedures, and Step 3 involves private room dialysis, ultimately consulting with staff about home modifications for actual dialysis at the patient's home. The average training period is 4.5 months. The facility features a parking lot and barrier-free accessibility. English language support is also available.
