Starting this year, financial support for cancer treatment will also cover those who have missed the national cancer checkup due to health issues such as dementia, pregnancy, and disability.
The Ministry of Health and Welfare announced that a revised bill on financial support for cancer treatment is planned to be implemented at the end of January.
The government covers up to 1-thousand-7-hundred-seventy U.S. dollars per year of a patient's treatment costs.
Officials advice people to not forget their cancer checkups as... if they do not find cancer through the national checkups, they cannot receive financial support from the government.
