1.1 Increase in the number of child consultations with municipalities

1.2 Strengthening of the comprehensive support system by municipalities

From FY 2023, municipalities are obliged to make efforts to establish the Children and Family Center (Children and Families Agency) as an organization that plays a central role in comprehensive support in cooperation with local organizations and resources, as well as integrated support for maternal and child health and child welfare.
The Child and Family Center aims to provide seamless, comprehensive and continuous support by having the Maternal and Child Health function and the Child Welfare function of each municipality provide consultation support to expectant and nursing mothers and child-raising families in an integrated manner.
