Liberal Democratic Party "Support for Infertility Treatment for Cancer Patients" Submitted Request to Prime Minister Suga November 12, 10:56
The Liberal Democratic Party's Federation of Parliamentarians, which aims to expand support for infertility treatment, said that if cancer patients receive radiation therapy, they may become infertile due to side effects, so it is necessary for patients to cryopreserve eggs and sperms in advance. We submitted a request to Prime Minister Kan for subsidies for such expenses.
The Liberal Democratic Party Parliamentary League, which aims to expand support for infertility treatment, visited the Prime Minister's Office with the chairman of the Amari Tax System Investigation Chairman and Seiko Noda, acting secretary-general, and handed a request to Prime Minister Suga.
According to the request, the government will subsidize the cost required for patients to cryopreserve eggs and sperms, saying that if cancer patients receive radiation therapy or anti-cancer drug treatment, they may become infertile due to side effects. I'm asking you to.
In addition, in order to balance fertility treatment and work, it is also included to promote the improvement of the workplace environment such as establishing a leave system.
In response, Prime Minister Suga responded, "I would like to accept and respond to requests."
Mr. Amari told reporters, "What we can do is to use the third supplementary budget for this year and do it with a sense of speed."
