The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has decided to reduce the burden of window counters at hospitals and usage fees for nursing care insurance for victims whose houses have been completely destroyed or flooded on the floor due to a series of heavy rain disasters. We are requesting cooperation from related organizations for long-term care insurance.
