Okinawa City, Okinawa Prefecture – August 6, 2025 – The Okinawa Prefectural Government has officially opened applications for pre-consultation regarding the “Respite Care Promotion Fund Business Subsidies for Medically Fragile Children and Others for Fiscal Year 2025.” This initiative aims to bolster the provision of respite care services, offering much-needed support to families raising children with medical needs.
