Maekawa Clinic
About
Maekawa Clinic, located in Kinomoto-cho, Nagahama City, Shiga Prefecture, is a community-based clinic offering internal medicine, surgery, and dermatology. Serving the northern Nagahama area, including the former Ika District, the clinic addresses the medical needs of local residents across a broad range of specialties. Consultation hours are 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM in the morning and 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM in the afternoon (until 5:00 PM on Saturdays), providing a convenient schedule for those with work or school commitments. English-language consultations are available, making the clinic an accessible option for those who are not comfortable communicating in Japanese. On-site parking is also provided, which is a notable convenience for patients traveling by car from suburban areas with limited public transportation access. Furthermore, the clinic supports online eligibility verification using the My Number Card, enabling care informed by patients' medical history, medication records, and specific health checkup data — allowing for more precise and informed medical services. This clinic is firmly rooted in the local community while steadily advancing its adoption of digital healthcare solutions.
