Kita City pays ¥5,000 per time, up to 2 times, toward postpartum checkups that check your physical and emotional recovery after birth. The program started on October 1, 2026, and the checkup vouchers can be used for checkups on or after October 1. The vouchers can be used at contracted medical institutions in Tokyo. For people who submitted a pregnancy notification on or after April 1, 2026, they are in the "Mother and Child Health Bag" given with the Maternal and Child Health Handbook. For people who submitted the notification on or before March 31 with a due date on or after August 1, 2026, they were mailed to your home at the end of July. If you had the checkup outside contracted medical institutions in Tokyo, such as in your hometown, and could not use the voucher, part of the cost is covered by the "Prenatal Checkup, etc. Subsidy for Giving Birth in Your Hometown, etc." (conditions apply).
