Jangseong-gun Receives Positive Feedback for Operating Non-Face-to-Face Prenatal Health Classes

[Jangseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jo Hangyu] Jangseong-gun, Jeollanam-do is attracting attention by providing valuable information on the health management of pregnant women and infants through non-face-to-face methods.

The county announced on the 14th that it operated a pregnant women’s health class through YouTube and Kakao channels from the 16th to the 30th of last month.

The education target was pregnant women registered in Jangseong, and 40 residents who wished to participate were recruited on a first-come, first-served basis.

Various materials and videos related to pregnancy, childbirth, and childcare, such as pregnant women’s health education and infant atopy prevention methods, were provided, receiving great responses from participating residents.

The “consideration” of preparing gift packages containing necessary supplies for education, such as baby product making kits, in advance also stood out.

One-on-one counseling using KakaoTalk chat was also conducted to resolve the questions of pregnant women.

Kim, a pregnant woman who participated in the education, said, “It was difficult to travel and I was worried about infectious diseases, so I was glad that a non-face-to-face education was held. There was a lot of essential information, so it was substantial and useful.”

Jangseong-gun’s pregnant women’s health class will continue until October.

The June education is scheduled to be held from the 17th to the 29th, and various contents such as how to succeed in breastfeeding, traditional Korean medicine childcare, and postpartum depression prevention are currently being prepared.

Applications and registration can be made by contacting the Health Policy Team of the Jangseong-gun Public Health Center. Registration using the KakaoTalk channel is also possible.

A county official said, “We will continue to operate programs that help pregnant women and children to contribute to making Jangseong a good place to give birth and raise children.”
