When the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare investigated the status of support for the examination and treatment of "recurrent miscarriage" that repeats miscarriage and stillbirth even if pregnant, targeting prefectures, ordinance-designated cities and core cities nationwide, a subsidy system has been established. Was found to be only about 30% of the total.
Support groups are seeking state support, saying, "We should be able to receive the same support no matter where we live."
Recurrent miscarriage, premature birth, and stillbirth, which are pregnant but the fetus does not grow up, are increasingly being able to give birth if the cause is clarified and appropriate treatment is received, but the problem is that the cost of examination and treatment is high. It has become.
For this reason, the number of local governments that subsidize part of the cost of examinations and treatments is increasing, and the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare first investigated the status of support for prefectures, ordinance-designated cities, and core cities nationwide.
As a result, it was found that 38 out of 127 local governments have a subsidy system, which is only about 30% of the total.
Of these,
▽ prefectures have subsidy programs in 12 prefectures such as Tokyo, Hokkaido, and Kyoto, and
▽ ordinance-designated cities and core cities in 26 cities such as Okayama, Saitama, and Yokosuka. ..
Regarding this result, Tomoko Kudo, the representative of the support group "Recurrent Miscarriage Sodate Net" made by the people involved in recurrent miscarriage, said, "Municipalities with a small population actively subsidize recurrent miscarriage in order to attract younger generations. I think there is a tendency to do it, but if there is no subsidy in a populous municipality such as an ordinance-designated city or a core city, the number of people who can receive support will eventually be limited. The same support will be provided no matter where you live. We need national-level subsidies to be able to receive them, "he said, calling for greater support.
