Cerebral palsy due to an accident during childbirth Even if the data is not available, in principle compensation will be provided November 13 19:57
Children who have severe cerebral palsy due to a childbirth accident are paid compensation under the "Obstetrics Medical Compensation System" regardless of whether or not the medical institution has negligence.
Until now, it was necessary to review data showing that some children were hypoxic, but even if the data are not available, children born after 28 weeks of gestation will be compensated in principle from the next year onwards. It was decided to.
Compensation is paid based on the maternity medical compensation system for children with cerebral palsy, but in order for children born between the 28th and 31st weeks of pregnancy to receive compensation, individual examination is required. It has become a requirement to show data that the patient was hypoxic.
However, in many cases, the data was not available and compensation was not received, so the Japan Medical Function Evaluation Organization, which operates the system, has held a study group since September and has been reviewing it.
At the study meeting held on the 13th, about 99% of the 414 cases that were not covered by the compensation as a result of individual examination by the person in charge of the Organization lead to cerebral palsy similar to the case that was compensated. I explained that it seems that there was something wrong.
In response to this, the study group approved a review proposal that, in principle, compensation will be provided for children born after the 28th week of pregnancy, even if there is no data.
In Japan, medical function evaluation mechanism, if you are to submit a report on the country to prospect the end of the year, is that since year after next is compensated as a general rule.
