Uljin-gun Expands Eligibility for Maternal and Newborn Health Management Services

Applications Accepted for Monthly Income Below 7.31 Million KRW for 4-Person Households

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-ho] Uljin-gun (Governor Jeon Chan-geol) expanded the maternal and newborn health care support project, which supports postpartum recovery for mothers and newborn care, starting from the 22nd.

According to Uljin-gun on the 27th, the maternal and newborn health care service is a policy where health care workers visit childbirth families to support maternal health management (nutrition management, hygiene management, etc.) and newborn care (bathing, cleanliness management, etc.).

Previously, the service support target was households with an income below 120% of the median income, but now it is available to households with an income below 150%. For a family of four, if the monthly income is below 7.31 million KRW, it falls under 150% of the median income.

Gyeongsangbuk-do supports disabled mothers and disabled newborns, families giving birth to a third child or more, marriage immigrant mothers, and single mothers to apply without income restrictions. Applications for the maternal and newborn health care service can be made from 40 days before the expected delivery date until 30 days after delivery through the health center in the mother's jurisdiction or the Bokjiro website.
