Gwangju City Recruiting Participants for Happy Plus Health Support Project

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 20th that it is recruiting participants for the ‘Happy Plus Health Support’ project, which provides health checkups related to pregnancy for couples preparing for their first child.

The ‘Happy Plus Health Support’ project is a support program for prospective parents newly implemented this year by Gwangju City to create a ‘Gwangju good for having and raising children,’ providing up to 300,000 KRW for 300 couples.

Eligible applicants are legally married couples where either the individual or their spouse has been registered as a resident in Gwangju City for more than one year and are preparing for their first pregnancy.

Since this project is designed for couples to prepare for pregnancy and childcare together, both spouses visit the hospital for consultation and checkups, and based on the checkup data, the city pays the support funds directly to the hospital.

Applications are accepted until October 18, and the recruitment will close early if the budget is exhausted. Those wishing to apply can refer to the announcement in the ‘City News - Notices and Announcements’ section on the city’s website and submit their application via email, fax, or registered mail.

Kim Young-seon, the city’s Youth Policy Officer, said, “We have prepared the Happy Plus Health Support project to help prospective parents have a healthy pregnancy,” adding, “We hope many couples who will have children and build their lives in Gwangju will participate.”
