The Pocheon Public Postpartum Care Center is located at 111-1 Cheongseong-ro, Gunnae-myeon, Pocheon-si (Haseongbuk-ri), with two above-ground floors, a total floor area of 2,432㎡, and 20 postpartum rooms. The center employs 26 staff members, including the director, nurses, and nursing assistants. Construction began in January 2021, with a total project cost of 13.69 billion KRW (5.4 billion KRW from provincial funds).

The usage fee is 1.68 million KRW for a two-week period. Mothers who are recipients of the National Basic Livelihood Security or who have given birth to three or more children can receive a 50% discount on the usage fee.

Oh Byeong-kwon, the first deputy governor of Gyeonggi Province, stated, "By expanding public postpartum care centers, we will provide high-quality postpartum care services to mothers and newborns and make Gyeonggi Province a city with a birth-friendly environment."

The province plans to open public postpartum care centers in Anseong and Pyeongtaek by 2026.
