The system covers diseases, disabilities, and deaths caused by side effects from pharmaceutical products used on or after May 1, 1980. However, cases are excluded if they involve using someone else's medication, using certain pharmaceuticals such as vaccinations, anticancer drugs, or immunosuppressants, or using large amounts of pharmaceuticals in an emergency to save a life.
Relief System for Health Damage Caused by Biological Products
This is a public system aimed at providing prompt relief to victims through various relief benefits for health hazards, such as infections, caused even when biological products were used properly.
The subjects are diseases (requiring hospitalization), disabilities (causing significant limitations in daily life), and deaths caused by infections resulting from the use of biological products on or after April 1, 2004. Treatment for the prevention of disease onset after infection and secondary infections that meet the benefit requirements are also eligible for relief.
