Shimada Pediatrics Clinic
About
Shimada Pediatric Clinic, located in Oyanocho Noboritsu, Kamiamakusa City, Kumamoto Prefecture, is a pediatric specialty clinic with over 100 years of history since the establishment of its predecessor, Shimada Hospital, in 1906. Centered on general pediatric care, the clinic comprehensively supports children's health through vaccinations, infant health checkups, and childcare and development consultations. Particular emphasis is placed on vaccinations, with the clinic offering schedule creation tailored to each child's age. In terms of medical care, the clinic provides general consultations for colds and infections, as well as allergy testing (blood tests). The prescribing approach considers each child's background, allergies, and history of conditions such as convulsions to provide individualized medication. The facility features a child-friendly environment decorated with airplane and train collections. From an infection prevention perspective, visitors for vaccinations and childcare consultations can use a separate entrance and waiting area from the general outpatient clinic. The clinic also conducts group health screenings for Kamiamakusa City and Misumi Town in Uki City, serving as an infant health screening facility. Convenience features include a parking lot, barrier-free access, and electronic payment options. Consultation hours are 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM on weekdays and 8:00 AM to noon on Saturdays, with Sundays and holidays closed. English support is available, and as a community-based family doctor, the clinic is prepared to consult on not only illnesses but also a wide range of childcare concerns.
