Maternal and Child Health Handbook
Medical Check-ups during Pregnancy
Dental Health Check-ups during Pregnancy
After you are informed by a doctor that you are pregnant, please get the Maternal and Child Health Handbook from the Healthy Children Division located in the City Office Annex Building 2F, or at the Toyokawa or Todoromi City Office branches.
The Maternal and Child Health Handbook is very important. You use it to keep a record of the health of both the mother and baby.
When you get the book, fill it in and bring it with you whenever you go to the hospital.
The Maternal and Child Health Handbook is issued in both Japanese and English.
If you want to get the Maternal and Child Health Handbook in another language (Vietnamese, Chinese, Thai, Korean, Indonesian, Portuguese, Tagalog, Spanish), please contact the below.
You will receive Prenatal Checkup Coupons (Ninpu Kenkou Shinsa Jushin Ken) (14 coupons) along with your Maternal and Child Health Handbook as public funding for your medical check-ups. You can use these coupons at hospitals or maternity centers in Osaka Prefecture.
Since there are some places that don't accept these coupons, please ask beforehand. Please remember, you cannot use these coupons in other prefectures.

Minoh City can provide childbirth expense subsidies to caregivers who have financial difficulties in covering the cost of childbirth fees such as being unable to receive one-time payments for childbirth.
For details, please contact the Childcare Support Division.
Please consult the Childcare Support Division up to two months before the birth of your child.
