In order to reduce the burden of infertility treatment, the government has abolished the income restrictions of the current subsidy system, decided to raise the subsidy amount by the end of this fiscal year, and is proceeding with adjustments such as specific amounts.

There is a subsidy system for in vitro fertilization, which is not covered by public insurance, among infertility treatments, and the first treatment when the wife is under 43 years old and the combined income of the couple is less than 7.3 million yen. Will be paid 300,000 yen, and then 150,000 yen each time, up to 6 times.



The government is considering expanding the subsidy system to reduce the financial burden of fertility treatment, and has decided to abolish income restrictions so far.



In addition, considering that the Komeito is requesting that the amount of subsidy be raised up to 400,000 yen each time, we are planning to raise the amount by the end of this fiscal year, and are proceeding with specific adjustments.



In addition, we are considering a plan to allow up to 6 times of subsidies if the childbirth is reached.



On the other hand, the age limit for wives is expected to be adjusted to maintain it, as the pregnancy rate will decrease as the age increases.
