About
Nanba Clinic is a community-based clinic located a 3-minute walk from Shinkai Station on the Semboku Rapid Railway in Naka-ku, Sakai City, Osaka Prefecture, offering internal medicine, surgery, and gastroenterology. The clinic is headed by Dr. Noburo Matsunaga, whose clinical philosophy emphasizes thorough examinations and clear explanations to patients. In gastroenterology, the clinic performs both gastroscopic and colonoscopic examinations, with gastroscopy available via transnasal endoscopy for reduced discomfort, as well as conventional endoscopy under sedation. The clinic addresses a wide range of digestive symptoms including abdominal pain, constipation, and diarrhea, and also provides ultrasound examinations of the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. The surgical department handles trauma treatment, ingrown toenails, and minimally invasive procedures for hemorrhoids such as Zion injection therapy, with same-day surgery available. When advanced testing or hospitalization is required, the clinic has a referral network in place including Belland General Hospital and other regional partner facilities. As a designated home-care support clinic, the clinic also provides 24-hour home medical care services to support patients who have difficulty visiting in person. English-language consultations are available, and parking is provided on-site. The clinic actively promotes medical digitalization, supporting online eligibility verification and My Number Card health insurance.
