Due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection, the medical fees that were raised to improve the treatment of health care workers are paid to the national treasury at the Self-Defense Forces hospital, which does not lead to improvement of treatment.

In response to the spread of the new coronavirus infection, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has raised the medical treatment fee paid to medical institutions accepting severely and moderately ill patients exceptionally in order to improve the treatment of medical staff.

However, since the increased medical fees are paid to the national treasury at the Self-Defense Forces hospitals, it does not lead to improvement in the treatment of medical staff who treat patients.

Medical workers who have taken measures against infectious diseases including new coronavirus are provided with allowance, but the daily amount is only 290 yen, so the Ministry of Defense is considering measures to improve treatment. .
