In order to prevent isolated childbirth at home, Kumamoto City's Jikei Hospital, which has independently introduced a "confidential birth system" that reveals its identity only to the hospital, protects women who want to give birth without anyone knowing. He had revealed that the woman had given birth this month.
It means that the woman reveals her identity, informs her family of the birth, and then shows her intention to raise her child.
According to the Jikei Hospital in Kumamoto City, a woman living outside the prefecture visited the hospital alone last month saying, "I want to give birth without anyone knowing," so I protected her.
Since the woman had already entered the month, the hospital continued to persuade her to reveal her identity, but she gave birth earlier this month.
According to the hospital, both mother and child are healthy, and as a result of the hospital's continued persuasion, the woman has revealed her identity, told her family that she will give birth, and has shown her intention to raise her child.
The hospital has pointed out that if you do not reveal your identity to anyone, you may not be able to get legal support, such as not being able to create a family register for your child, but that situation is expected to be avoided.
Ken Hasuda, director of Jikei Hospital, said, "We have achieved the first goal of safe delivery for both mother and child, but similar cases may occur again, so it is not a makeshift, but safe for mother and child within the scope of the current law. I would like to ask the government to make an attempt to achieve childbirth. Also, I would like you to discuss legislation at the national level, although I do not know if it can be done immediately.
