Ashikaga Daiichi Hospital
About
Ashikaga First Hospital, located in Otsuki-cho, Ashikaga City, Tochigi Prefecture, is a hospital specializing in internal medicine and serving as a regional healthcare provider. The hospital offers various vaccinations, including influenza and pneumococcal vaccines, and accepts patients from the general public, not only regular patients. In addition to specific health checkups led by Ashikaga City, the hospital provides cancer screenings for colorectal, lung, gastric, and breast cancer, playing an active role in disease prevention and early detection in the community. While the inpatient ward closed at the end of September 2025, outpatient services and the dialysis center continue to operate, providing outpatient care focused on managing lifestyle-related diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. In terms of facilities, the hospital has introduced a chest X-ray lesion detection system using AI technology from Fujifilm, which automatically detects areas suspected of tumors before being reviewed by physicians to prevent overlooking lesions. The hospital provides English-language support, accepts credit cards and electronic payments, and offers barrier-free facilities with parking, creating an accessible environment for patients with diverse needs.
