About
Hirakawa Hospital, operated by a medical corporation located in Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture, is a hospital offering primarily internal medicine services. The hospital operates on a two-session schedule, with morning hours from 9:00 to 12:30 and afternoon hours from 14:00 to 17:30. While the facility is closed on Sundays, public holidays, and during the year-end and New Year period, it also sees patients on Saturdays, making it accessible for those who find it difficult to visit on weekdays. A notable recent development is the expansion of community-based integrated care beds from 8 to 16, strengthening the hospital's capacity to admit patients requiring inpatient care. The hospital also offers a pain clinic and headache clinic, providing specialized consultations by appointment for patients suffering from chronic pain. In autumn, influenza vaccinations are administered without prior reservation, reflecting the hospital's proactive commitment to preventive medicine for local residents. In terms of facilities, the hospital features a parking lot and is fully barrier-free, ensuring a comfortable environment for individuals with physical disabilities. English-language support is also available, making it a welcoming medical institution for those whose native language is not Japanese.
