Support for Korean Medicine Infertility Treatment (3 Months) Including Herbal Medicine, Consultation, Program Operation, and 90% Coverage of Herbal Medicine Costs (Up to 1.19 Million KRW)

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Dobong-gu (Mayor Dongjin Lee) will support up to 1.19 million KRW for Korean medicine treatment costs for infertile couples experiencing difficulties with pregnancy.

The district will implement a Korean medicine infertility support project starting in August to reduce the financial burden on infertile couples and increase the birth rate through natural pregnancy.

Eligible applicants must be Dobong-gu residents who have lived in Seoul for more than six months as of the application date. Any infertile couple with unexplained infertility (female under 41 years old) who desires natural pregnancy, including common-law marriages, can apply.

Once finally selected as a beneficiary, applicants can choose a designated Korean medicine clinic within Seoul to receive treatment.

The designated Korean medicine clinics in Dobong-gu are Malgeunsaeng Korean Medicine Clinic, Chamsarang Korean Medicine Clinic, Dobong Kyunghee Korean Medicine Clinic, Seoul Kyunghee Korean Medicine Clinic, Kyunghee Dongin Korean Medicine Clinic, and Jimyeong Korean Medicine Clinic, totaling six locations.

Participants will receive support for Korean medicine infertility treatment (3 months), including herbal medicine, counseling, and program operation, with 90% of the herbal medicine costs covered (up to 1.19 million KRW). Pre- and post-treatment tests and counseling will also be conducted. Applications can be made once a year, with support available up to twice.

Applications must be submitted in person at the Dobong-gu Public Health Center with the screening test results from the ‘Seoul Pregnancy and Childbirth Information Center’ website, along with the required documents and identification.

Mayor Dongjin Lee of Dobong-gu said, “Low birthrate is not just an individual or family issue but a challenge our society must solve together. Through this Korean medicine infertility treatment, we hope that infertile couples who are eagerly waiting for children will not lose hope and will be able to embrace their precious children.”
