We would like to inform you that the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has requested that medical certificates ("Clinical Survey Individual Form" for designated intractable diseases and "Medical Opinion Form" for specified chronic childhood diseases) be made available online.

Currently, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare is renewing the system of the database for intractable diseases and ignorance, which is scheduled to be released after 2022, in order to make medical certificates online. Please read through it as it includes the overall picture of the new system, the database construction schedule, and matters to be handled by medical institutions.

*Medical institutions that use their own medical systems are expected to require system upgrades.

If you have any questions about making the medical certificate online, please fill out the "Inquiry Sheet" and send it to the address below by email. In addition, regarding the title of the inquiry e-mail, please write "[Intractable disease / Shyness] Question about online medical certificate (medical institution name)".

*The questions sent to us will be summarized and referred to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, and the answers will be updated on this website as needed, not individually. (FAQ issued by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare to all local governments)
