Medical care Priority distribution of hygiene products to children in need Corona difficult to obtain August 13 4:54
Since it is difficult to obtain hygiene products for disinfection due to the influence of the new coronavirus, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare will start the priority distribution to children who need medical care from the end of this month.
According to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, it is estimated that there are about 20,000 children nationwide that need medical care on a daily basis, such as using a ventilator, and disinfection is indispensable when the family sucks sputum. ..
However, the demand for hygiene products used for disinfection etc. is increasing due to the influence of the new coronavirus and it is difficult to obtain hygiene products.
For this reason, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare will give priority to children who need medical care, such as ▽"purified water" when using a ventilator and ▽"alcohol cotton" for disinfecting medical equipment. Will start from the end of this month.
The target of support is the person who uses the ventilator at home without going to the facility, and the person who uses "stomach wax" that feeds with a tube.
It means that you can accept applications from yourself and your family on a dedicated site on the Internet and distribute "purified water" and "alcohol cotton" for about one month free of charge.
The date on which we will start accepting applications will be announced on the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare website.
