Goheung-gun Significantly Expands Childbirth Encouragement Support in 2022

Support for New Parents with Baby Safety Products and Newborn "First Meeting Voucher" for Young Couples

[Goheung=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Shim Jeong-woo] Goheung-gun, Jeollanam-do announced that it will expand childbirth encouragement support to overcome the increasingly serious low birthrate problem and reduce the economic burden on families with newborns.

They plan to provide the ‘Youth Couple Childbirth Celebration Baby Safety Products’ and the ‘First Meeting Voucher’ to babies born after January 1 of this year.

The ‘Youth Couple Childbirth Celebration Baby Safety Products’ project supports newborn thermometers and safety stickers to families of young couples (under 49 years old) residing in Goheung-gun who have registered for prenatal care at the Goheung-gun Public Health Center, to celebrate childbirth and wish for the healthy growth of the baby.

The ‘First Meeting Voucher’ provides 2 million KRW per child as points on the National Happiness Card regardless of birth order or multiple births, and for infants and toddlers under protection in social welfare facilities, it is paid in cash through the Didim Seed Bank account.

The voucher can be used for one year from the date of birth, and unused points will expire after the end date.

An official from the county said, “In the prolonged COVID-19 situation, we hope that providing the ‘Childbirth Celebration Baby Safety Products’ and the ‘First Meeting Voucher’ will help prevent COVID-19 and reduce the economic burden on families with newborns. Goheung-gun will continue to do its best to create an environment favorable for having and raising children by promoting various childbirth encouragement policies that residents can feel.”
