Murata Internal Medicine Clinic
About
Murata Internal Medicine Clinic, located in Izunokuni City, Shizuoka Prefecture, is a community-based medical clinic specializing in internal medicine. Led by Dr. Daichiro Murata, the clinic offers consultations on weekday mornings as well as Saturday and Sunday mornings, serving the healthcare needs of local residents six days a week, excluding Wednesdays and public holidays. A notable feature is its Sunday morning consultations, making it accessible for students and working adults who find it difficult to visit on weekdays. The clinic places strong emphasis on infection control, with Director Murata serving as the infection control officer and conducting training sessions twice a year. When patients are suspected of having highly infectious diseases such as influenza or COVID-19, they are seen in a dedicated examination space with separate patient flow from general visitors. The clinic has also established a cooperative framework with core hospitals, continuously working to improve infection control standards through regular information sharing and expert advice. In terms of facilities, the clinic offers ample parking, ensuring convenient access by car from surrounding areas. The barrier-free design accommodates elderly patients and those with physical disabilities, allowing everyone to visit with peace of mind. English-language support is also available, providing a flexible environment for patients who require communication in languages other than Japanese.
