Yokohama City offers health checkups for children aged 4 months, 18 months, and 3 years. The Health and Welfare Center of your ward will send a letter to the families with eligible children. The letter will tell you the date and place of the health checkup.
Infant health checkups at the Health and Welfare Center are free of charge.
＜What can you do at Health Checkups＞
・You can check your child’s growth and development.
・You can consult about child-rearing.
Please be sure to have infant health checkups, as they are important opportunities for you and your child. At the health checkups, the health checkup staff will ask you about your child’s daily condition. So the person who accompanies the child for a health checkup should be someone who sees the child regularly and knows the child well.
