Gwangju Seo-gu, the Only Local Specialized Project for Pregnant Women Draws Attention

Support for Maternity and Childcare Products for Pregnant Women Over 16 Weeks and 1 Million KRW Postpartum Care Payment for Families with Fourth Child or More

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Seo-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (Mayor Seo Daeseok) is attracting attention by implementing a unique specialized project for pregnant women in the region.

Seo-gu announced on the 20th that it is carrying out the ‘Mo(a)Amoa Happiness Bundle Support Project.’

This project is one of the policies to create a childbirth and childcare environment favorable for having children, aimed at overcoming population decline due to low birth rates and improving the social atmosphere that celebrates pregnancy and childbirth.

The support target is pregnant women residing in Seo-gu who are over 16 weeks pregnant. They will be provided with a set of innerwear worth about 100,000 KRW per newborn and five types of nursing supplies, as well as other necessary childcare items.

Applications can be submitted by visiting the local community welfare center or health center in the resident’s district, or online through ‘Government 24’ by accessing the ‘Mom Comfortable Pregnancy Service Support.’

Additionally, Seo-gu is the only district among the five districts to provide 1,000,000 KRW for postpartum care expenses to low-income families and families who have given birth to a fourth child or more.

A Seo-gu official said, “We will continue to implement various policies to improve awareness of pregnancy, childbirth, and childcare and to foster a childbirth-friendly atmosphere in this era of low birth rates.”
