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.

Refund System
If you get a prenatal checkup in another prefecture, you may apply to the refund system. You may receive the money you paid back, up to the value of the remaining subsidy (this is called the Refund system (Kanpu Seido)).
How to apply
Please apply at the Healthy Children Division (City Office Annex Building 2F), within one year of the checkup.
(1) Application: You must apply for a Prenatal Checkup Subsidy (Ninpu Kenkou Shinsahi Josei Kin).
(2) What you need to apply: receipts, a detailed statement, your Maternal and Child Health Handbook, proof of your bank account number, and any Prenatal Checkup Coupons that you have not used.
(3) Amount of refund: You will receive either the cost of the medical checkup or the value of the remaining subsidy, whichever is less.
A dental examination and consultation are available for pregnant women once every 2 months at the Life Plaza Building 2F. It is recommended to take the examination around 16 weeks of pregnancy. Please reserve an appointment beforehand by TEL or FAX (free of charge).
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.
Even after this deadline, please consult the Childcare Support Division.
