Opening of Mapo-gu Haetbit Center

Mapo-gu Holds Unveiling Ceremony for ‘Sunlight Center’ Brightly Illuminating ‘Mothers and Babies’

A center where health services ranging from infertility counseling and pregnancy preparation to postpartum care and infant health checkups are available

Mapo-gu (Mayor Park Gang-su) held an unveiling ceremony on the morning of the 19th on the 2nd floor of the public health center to announce the establishment of the Sunlight Center.

The Sunlight Center is a facility where health services from infertility counseling and pregnancy preparation to postpartum care and infant health checkups can be received in one place. It has been promoted by Mapo-gu since August last year to overcome the serious low birthrate issue and to enhance maternal and child health.

At the unveiling ceremony, Mayor Park Gang-su, chairpersons of the 16 neighborhood community leaders’ associations, the president of the daycare center association, and about 50 others attended to celebrate the opening of the Sunlight Center by unveiling the signboard.

In his congratulatory speech, Mayor Park Gang-su said, “We will operate the Sunlight Center with a sense of responsibility that the district will take charge from pregnancy preparation to postpartum care and infant support. We are also planning to expand the scale and promote additional construction in the future.” He added, “Rather than immediate financial support, we will do our best to create an environment favorable for having and raising children and to establish excellent educational conditions.”

Afterwards, Mayor Park Gang-su visited the ‘Baby Welcoming Prenatal Class’ being held in the maternal and child health education room of the Sunlight Center, greeted residents, and inspected newly renovated facilities such as the infertility counseling room, the resting lounge for pregnant women, and the sensory development zone.

He then encouraged the staff who worked hard for the opening of the Sunlight Center and urged them to shed the perception of the public health center as a mere formal medical institution and to strive to improve the quality of health services so that it can gain more trust and recognition from the residents.
