Medetaya Midwifery Clinic
About
Medetaya Midwifery Clinic, located in Takane-cho, Hokuto City, Yamanashi Prefecture, operates as a home-visit midwifery service. The clinic's most distinctive feature is that midwives travel to clients' homes or birthing facilities to provide support, accommodating both home births and open-system births. The open-system birth arrangement allows a patient's regular midwife to attend hospital deliveries, enabling expectant mothers to give birth with a familiar care provider by their side. The clinic provides continuous care from pregnancy through childbirth and the postpartum period, offering supportive guidance tailored to the mother and baby's needs. English-language support is available, making consultations accessible for non-Japanese speakers. The facility includes parking, ensuring convenient access even from areas around Hokuto City where public transportation is limited. Operating hours are from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with irregular closing days, so visitors are advised to contact the clinic in advance.
