The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has opened a dedicated call center to accept loan consultations for medical institutions whose management is deteriorating due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection.
The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare will provide medical institutions with financial measures on the scale of 3 trillion yen, such as assistance to secure beds for accepting patients with the new coronavirus and subsidies to prevent nosocomial infections, to support financing. We also provide interest-free and unsecured loans for the purpose.
On the other hand, medical institutions have said, "I don't know how to use it," so the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare opened a dedicated call center on the 4th of this month to receive consultations from medical institutions.
The phone number is 0120-024-700, which means that we will introduce available support measures from 9 am to 6 pm on weekdays and will also be available for consultation on procedures.
Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare Tamura said, "The medical institutions that have accepted patients with the new coronavirus are also very difficult to manage, and the workers are feeling a lot of anxiety. I would like to tell you in detail how to secure funds." I am calling for the use.
