[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gwangjin-gu (District Mayor Kim Seon-gap) will implement the 'Pregnant Women Household Care Support Project' starting from the 8th to create a favorable environment for childbirth.

This project is being conducted for the first time this year and is designed to actively support pregnant women from the pregnancy stage to ensure healthy and safe childbirth, aiming to improve the birth rate.

The target beneficiaries are pregnant women residing in Gwangjin-gu, and applications are accepted regardless of income level. However, after childbirth, applicants must apply for postpartum care services at the public health center.

The support includes basic household services such as cleaning and laundry, as well as customized services like providing meals for pregnant women, accompanying them to the hospital in emergencies, and disinfection related to COVID-19.

The service is free of charge and provides support for 4 sessions of 4 hours each day.

The project will continue until the budget is exhausted, and applications must be submitted at least 10 days before the desired service date.

Applications can be submitted in person at the local community service center with an ID and pregnancy confirmation or maternity handbook. For more details, contact the community service center or the Gwangjin-gu Family Welfare Division.

Kim Seon-gap, Mayor of Gwangjin-gu, said, "Through this project, we hope to reduce both the psychological and economic burdens of pregnant women before childbirth and help create a favorable environment for childbirth." He added, "Going forward, the district plans to promote various customized services to overcome the worsening low birthrate environment."
