The Tokyo Metropolitan Government will start a new support project in which midwives observe the health of pregnant women who are infected with the new coronavirus and receive medical treatment at home by telephone or visit.
According to the city, it has been confirmed that there were at least 120 pregnant women who received home medical treatment in August due to the rapid spread of the infection in the city, and support is an issue.
For this reason, the city has collaborated with the Tokyo Midwifery Association on a new support project in which local midwives make health observations by calling or visiting pregnant women who are undergoing medical treatment at home or women who have just given birth. I will start from the moon.
In addition to supporting the cost of allocating midwives to the wards and cities where health centers are located, the city's health centers will also recruit new midwives to strengthen support.
The capital said, "In the 5th wave, some pregnant women were forced to take care of themselves at home due to family circumstances such as being unable to be hospitalized immediately or having young children. A detailed support system to prepare for the next spread of infection. I want to prepare. "
