Hozando Yakushiji Clinic
About
Yakushiji Clinic (Hōzandō Medical Corporation), located in Kashima City, Saga Prefecture, is a clinic with inpatient facilities featuring 13 beds, offering internal medicine, gastroenterology, and surgery. One of its key strengths is its comprehensive gastrointestinal care, with the latest laser-equipped endoscopes—including a transnasal upper gastrointestinal scope and an optical magnification scope for the lower gastrointestinal tract—providing a low-discomfort examination environment. Colonoscopy procedures are performed by gastrointestinal endoscopy specialists from Saga University Hospital, with same-day polypectomy (cold snare polypectomy) available when necessary. Notably, the clinic actively addresses the diagnosis and treatment of viral hepatitis, an important concern given that Saga Prefecture ranks among the highest in the nation for liver cancer mortality. Additional services include H. pylori eradication therapy, smoking cessation consultations, sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) treatment, home oxygen therapy, and home visit medical care, providing a wide range of healthcare services to the local community. English-language consultations are available, and the facility is equipped with parking and barrier-free access, making it accessible to a diverse range of patients.
