Twenty medical institutions have begun free pregnancy tests around the world to support middle and high school students who may have had an unwanted pregnancy.

The doctor is calling out, "I want you to see the doctor as soon as possible without holding it alone."

The "Anshin Mother and Child Obstetrics and Gynecology Liaison Council" created by obstetrics and gynecology medical institutions nationwide is free of charge for women under the age of 18 such as junior and senior high school students who may have had an unexpected pregnancy. Efforts to carry out tests have been started in November, and are currently being carried out at 20 medical institutions.

The council has begun to work on the importance of having a medical examination first in order to ensure the safety of the mother's womb and to provide the necessary support thereafter.



Dr. Koji Samejima of "Samejima Bonding Clinic", who is the chairman of the council, said, "I feel that the number of young women who are getting pregnant when they meet men on SNS due to corona sickness is increasing. There are many children who can't get in touch with each other and ponder without consulting with anyone. I want them to see the doctor as soon as possible without holding them alone. "
