Whilst Japans new secrecy law was being unveiled, under the noses of the big international NGO`s and Global press scrutiny (sort of), a little known Cancer Registration Law was quietly brought into being.
This registry law comes with teeth – up to a 2 year prison sentence for doctors or other health staff with the option for a huge fine (For the doctors). The law and its threatening posture means that the Law has really now begun and few if any cancer statistics will be released. Apart from coourageous japanese whistleblowers. We bloggers should all support their efforts to get the hidden truth out there to the masses.
Some debate on this is floating around the Japanese Blog scene. And I will attempt to recreate some of the comments here. I will also leave links and comments in Japanese for our Japanese viewers for further investigation;
The Cancer registration Law (がん登録法 ) had passed the lower house (It passed the Upper house sometime before) recently (6/12/13) along with the new secrets law. Doctors are complied with registering this information on their patients who have developed cancer.
They get of up to 1,000,000 yen fine or 2 years in the jail if they leak the data of their cancer patients. They said it’s going to take an effect from January in 2016 at the earliest.
The In this law all the hospitals in Japan are required to notify the specific “cancer registry “ department;
The details that will be passed exclusively to the secretive cancer registry are the ;
Names, birth dates, type of cancer , grade, treatment, and other valuable epidemiological research data.
Data in Japanese language..

医療機関に患者の情報提供を義務づけ、がんに関する全国規模のデータベースを整備するなどとした「がん登録推進法」が、衆議院本会議で、可決され、成立しました。
「がん登録推進法」は、参議院ですでに可決されており、6日の衆議院本会議で可決され、成立しました。
特 定秘密保護法案ばかりに抗議が集中していますが、特定秘密保護法案と同時期に可決された「がん登録法案」も非常に危険な内容となっています。「がん登録法 案」という法案は癌患者の登録を定めた法案ですが、実はこの癌患者に関する情報を漏洩した方に対して、「2年以下の懲役又は100万円以下の罰金」という罰則が設けられているのです。
がん登録法では全ての病院にがん患者の氏名、生年月日、がんの種類・進行度、発見の経緯や治療内容などを届けるように義務付けているので、確かに個人情報が漏洩しないようにすることは重要だと言えます。
し かしながら、福島原発事故で行政は多くの情報隠蔽や情報工作をしていることから、この制度が悪用される可能性も考えれ、状況次第では全国の癌患者に関する 情報が隠蔽されるかもしれません。がん登録法で登録された癌の情報は政府や医療関係者しか閲覧することが出来ないため、ここから何も公表されないと、私達 国民は癌の発生状況などを知ることは不可能になってしまいます。
