Q. The schedule for infant health checkups is
A. About 10 times in total: 1 month (pediatrics), 3 to 4 months, 6 to 7 months, 9 to 10 months, 1 year old, 1 and a half years old, 3 years old, 4 years old, 5 years old, and preschool. Municipal implementation is free after 3 to 4 months. Although not required, it is highly recommended.
Q. Can foreigners take the test?
A. Yes, if you have a residence card, you can receive a medical examination completely free of charge. The number of local governments that have interpreters available is increasing. If you contact us in advance, we may be able to dispatch an interpreter or provide English materials.
Q. What do you see during a medical checkup?
A. The basics include physical measurements (height, weight, head circumference), internal medicine examination, developmental check, interview, and childcare consultation. At 18 months and 3 years old, we look closely at motor, language, and social development.
Q. If an abnormality is found
A. Either "Observation required", "Detailed examination", or "Referral to a specialized organization". In most cases, there are no problems with follow-up. Early detection is important, so see a specialist if recommended.
Q. Vaccinations can also be given
A. Can be conducted simultaneously at many health checkup locations. BCG (mass vaccination) is generally administered along with health checkups. Individual vaccinations (Hib, pneumococcus, etc.) can be received by making a reservation at a designated medical institution.
