The service, called &#8220;Sick Childcare Pickup,&#8221; charges 1,000 yen per use and is available to households with preschool children attending local institutions. This initiative addresses the needs of dual-income families who work outside the city, allowing parents more flexibility and ensuring children receive timely medical care. <\/span><b>Source:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.city.munakata.lg.jp\/w001\/050\/020\/006\/010\/0101.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Munakata City<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \/ <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www3.nhk.or.jp\/fukuoka-news\/20240513\/5010024281.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NHK<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_163019\" style=\"width: 1410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-163019\" class=\"size-full wp-image-163019\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/fnn_child-sleep-photoac_2024_cl.jpg?resize=1400%2C1050&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Munakata City Launches First Sick Child Pickup Service in Fukuoka Prefecture\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1050\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/fnn_child-sleep-photoac_2024_cl.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/fnn_child-sleep-photoac_2024_cl.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/fnn_child-sleep-photoac_2024_cl.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/fnn_child-sleep-photoac_2024_cl.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-163019\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo from Photo AC<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu news and events in English.
