Matsuka Internal Medicine Clinic
About
Shoko Naika Clinic, located in Kojima Kaminomachi, Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture, is a community-based primary care clinic offering a wide range of internal medicine services. The clinic participates in the Enhanced Function Supplement program, providing comprehensive health management including medication oversight (encompassing drugs prescribed at other facilities), referrals to specialist institutions when needed, and consultations on health checkup results. Under the Community-Based Comprehensive Care Supplement, the clinic also handles general health consultations, long-term care insurance inquiries, and vaccination guidance, offering broad support across everyday life. For patients whose primary conditions include hypertension, dyslipidemia, or diabetes, the clinic transitioned to the Lifestyle Disease Management Fee system in June 2024, creating individualized care plans tailored to each patient's circumstances for more specialized and continuous treatment management. Strong emphasis is placed on in-facility infection control; patients presenting with fever symptoms are attended to separately from general consultations in terms of both space and time, ensuring a safe environment for all visitors. English-language support is available, and the clinic is equipped with a parking lot and barrier-free facilities, making it accessible to a wide range of patients. Consultations are held in two sessions — morning and afternoon — and the clinic contributes to local health and medical care in collaboration with the Kurashiki City Medical Association.
