There are about 14,000 children born annually in Fukuoka. And, with an increasing variety in lifestyle preferences, the types of challenges involved with raising children is changing. Fukuoka city looks to offer needed support to those with children, from the prenatal stages and on up through the child raising years.

To begin, in each ward, Childrearing Comprehensive Support Centers, or, in Japanese, “Kosodate Sedai Hokatsu Sentaa” will begin operation as of July 3. As a result, the Maternal and Child Health Handbooks in Fukuoka, previously issued at health facilities around the city, will begin being issued by the Health Sections of the new centers. Midwives and others who have special knowledge regarding maternal matters are stationed at the centers and can offer consultations. They also present a Maternity Class twice a month to provide information necessary during pregnancy. The classes take place concurrently with the issuance of maternity health record books.

Another form of support is that when giving birth, a lump-sum birth payment of up to ¥420,000 will be provided through one’s health insurance. There may also be additional payments received as well. For more detailed information, please contact the union affiliated with your health insurance provider. Also, those who choose not to give birth in Fukuoka, but instead return to give birth in the area of the country in which they were raised, may have to bear the cost of exams on their own, as they will not be able to use the maternity medical exam vouchers provided by Fukuoka city. However, please be aware that Fukuoka city may partially reimburse expenses. To receive such aid, please be sure to file an application at the Health Section of the center no later than the last day of the sixth month after birth. In pregnancies requiring in vitro fertilization, or ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) fertilization, the city will subsidize costs by up to ¥300,000 for the first procedure, and then at a maximum of ¥150,000 per procedure after that. In addition, a maximum of ¥150,000 per procedure will be provided for surgical costs incurred to collect sperm for specific infertility treatment.

Further support is offered by midwives or healthcare workers visiting homes with infants. In the visits they measure children’s weight and assess the health of their development, as well as provide consultation regarding childrearing. The city also runs “care service” projects to assist with childcare after birth. For example, if after giving birth no one is available to support the mother, helpers can be dispatched to assist with things like taking care of children, housework, and other such matters. In addition, rest areas where mother and child can relax are located in obstetrician and maternity home facilities within the city.

And, when childcare is required due to the need to work, babysitters are made available at the rate of ¥400 per hour to take care of children between the ages of 8 weeks and 3 months through the support of the “end-of-maternity leave program”.

Fukuoka city provides these and many other forms of support to assist with childrearing. Information about programs you may be eligible for, and further information regarding childrearing in Fukuoka city, can be found in the “Childrearing Information Guide”, available at the Information Plaza on the first floor of city hall, as well as at Information Corners and Childrearing Support Sections in each ward. Please be sure to check it out!
