Gwangju Dong-gu Selected for Pilot Project of One-Stop Pregnancy Support Service

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Dong-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (Mayor Im Taek) announced on the 6th that it has been selected as a pilot local government for the Ministry of the Interior and Safety's one-stop pregnancy support service called the ‘Mom Comfortable Pregnancy Service’.

Until now, pregnant women had to find out about the services provided by the government or local governments themselves after pregnancy diagnosis and visit each institution individually to apply, causing inconvenience.

Accordingly, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety is conducting a pilot project this year for the ‘One-Stop Pregnancy Support Service,’ which allows convenient application and use by providing various supports offered by government agencies and local governments at once through online and offline channels.

Following the project selection, Dong-gu will officially provide the service starting in April.

When pregnant women apply through the government civil service portal ‘Government24’ or nearby administrative welfare centers, they can receive nationwide common services such as ▲Folic Acid Supplements ▲Iron Supplements ▲Maternal and Newborn Health Care Support ▲Mom Comfortable KTX ▲National Happiness Card ▲Crisis Pregnancy Professional Counseling ▲Infertile Couple Treatment Cost Support.

Additionally, Dong-gu provides support services such as ▲Breast Pump Rental ▲Prenatal Classes ▲Prenatal Testing ▲Issuance of Pregnant Woman Parking Permits.

Dong-gu expects that this service will significantly improve the inconvenience of having to visit public health centers in person, as pregnant women will be able to receive essential items such as folic acid and iron supplements by delivery.

Im Taek, Mayor of Dong-gu, said, “With the selection of this pilot project, our Dong-gu has taken a step closer to becoming a city good for raising children,” and added, “We will continue to provide customized support through cooperation with related organizations to ensure the health and convenience of pregnant women.”
