Fukuoka City announced an expanded medical support program for local children. Aiming to ensure all children have proper access to medical care regardless of their financial situations, each hospital and the medical clinic would charge only up to ¥500/month per patient for junior-high-school students or younger. Eligibility cards would be delivered to each household in June. The city covers medical costs for three y/o and younger fully. Source: Mainichi / Fukuoka City / Takashima Soichiro official blog
