Hiro Clinic operates in major cities across Japan, with obstetricians, clinical genetics specialists, pediatricians, and psychiatrists collaborating to provide comprehensive care. All clinics are connected via a network, enabling specialists to answer a wide range of questions from pregnant patients.
