Message from the President, Kenjiro Ando
Welcome to the Sendai City Medical Association website.
We are an organization of physicians practicing at clinics and hospitals throughout Sendai City. Our membership consists of nearly 2,000 physicians, with an almost equal balance between private practitioners and hospital-based doctors.
The work of physicians extends beyond our daily clinical practice.
We are deeply involved in various social and public service initiatives to support our community during both routine operations and emergencies. These include providing emergency medical care at night and on holidays at the Sendai City Emergency Medical Center and in the emergency departments of various hospitals throughout the city; serving as school physicians at elementary and junior high schools; providing medical support for those living at home or in facilities requiring long-term care; leading epidemic response efforts, from vaccinations to diagnosis and treatment during infectious disease outbreaks; and participating in JMAT (Japan Medical Association Team) activities to support medical care in disaster-stricken areas during major disasters.
Modern healthcare depends on the seamless coordination between many professions. We are proud of our strong partnerships with the Sendai City administration, as well as our colleagues in dentistry, pharmacy, nursing, and long-term care. Alongside our many partners, our entire membership is dedicated to working together with a single mission: "To protect the lives and health of the residents of Sendai.

Ask the Sendai City Medical Association
So, I’ve been wondering... what exactly is a Medical Association?
A Medical Association is a community where local doctors come together to support and protect everyone’s health!
Is that different from a hospital?
It’s not an organization of hospitals, but rather individual doctors who join as members. Doctors from all different specializations work together to make our local healthcare even better!
Wow, is that what you guys do? That’s amazing! I had no idea!
Thanks! We are also active in areas that might be ‘invisible’ but are very close to your daily life—like conducting health checkups at schools, and supporting nursing and medical visitations to patients’ homes!
Beneath It All, We Care.
The Sendai City Medical Association is deeply connected to the daily lives of our citizens.
While our work is often invisible in Sendai residents’ daily lives…
We are always there behind the scenes,
Serving as the backbone of our community’s health.
We remain dedicated to supporting the well-being and healthy futures of every resident in Sendai.
