Expanding support for mothers after childbirth, bipartisan federation of legislators, revised bill, November 25, 6:45
In order to expand support for mothers after giving birth, the bipartisan federation of legislators makes the implementation of the “Postpartum Care Business” an obligation of the municipalities to make efforts for mental care and childcare consultation. The revised proposal has been compiled.
Maternal mothers who have no children have the problem of postpartum care because they tend to become solitary and mentally uneasy that they have to raise their children alone. .
However, only about 40% of the nation's local governments have midwives and public health nurses conduct “postpartum care projects” where mothers provide health guidance and consultation.
For this reason, the Federation of Parliamentarians, which is made up of members of the bipartisan parliament, has put together a draft amendment to the Maternal and Child Health Law, regarding it as a law that needs to be expanded nationwide.
According to it, the implementation of the “Postpartum Care Business” is an obligation of the municipalities to make consultations on mental care and childcare for mothers and infants within one year of childbirth, as well as the maintenance of the “Postpartum Care Center” It includes work to tackle.
The League of Legislators aims to be established in the current Diet.
