Four hospitals in Kyushu have stepped up their efforts to support teenagers with unexpected pregnancies. While reports of young women giving birth alone or abandoning newborn babies, free* prenatal care and anonymous delivery are now provided at obstetrics of Chikushi Clinic (Shime Town, Fukuoka), Amagase Clinic (Onojo City, Fukuoka), Fukuda Hospital (Kumamoto City, Kumamoto) and Miyahara Ladies’ Clinic (Hita City, Oita.) Currently, only twenty-two hospitals run similar programs in Japan. (the hospitals bear* medical costs.) Source: NHK
