Naka Town National Health Insurance Kizawa Clinic
About
The Naka Town National Health Insurance Kizawa Clinic is an internal medicine clinic located in the Kito district, a mountainous area of Naka Town, Naka District, Tokushima Prefecture, providing healthcare support for residents in a depopulated region surrounded by rich natural scenery. Naka Town is known for its deep mountains and crystal-clear streams, and this clinic serves as an accessible medical hub for those living in such mountainous areas. Consultations are held in two sessions — from 9:00 to 12:00 in the morning and from 14:00 to 17:00 in the afternoon — on select days of the week. As there are a relatively large number of closed days, patients are advised to confirm the clinic schedule in advance before visiting. The facility is equipped with a parking lot, providing an environment suited to the geographical characteristics of the mountainous area where access by car is the primary means of transportation. The clinic is also barrier-free, allowing elderly patients and those with physical disabilities to visit with peace of mind. English-language support is available, making it easier for those whose primary language is not Japanese to receive medical care. While healthcare resources in semi-mountainous rural areas like Naka Town tend to be limited, this clinic serves as a community-based public medical institution that fulfills a vital role in meeting the basic health needs of local residents.
