Guro-gu Establishes 'Mother and Child Health Center'

Target Opening in April 2024... Selected for Seoul City Maternal and Child Health Center Installation and Operation Public Project in May 2023

Utilizing Idle Space in Gaebong 1-dong 2nd Community Center to Create an Integrated Health Management Space for Pregnant Women and Infants

A Maternal and Child Health Center will also be established in Guro-gu. It is expected to resolve the inconvenience of having to handle counseling work containing sensitive information in a cramped space within the public health center.

Guro-gu (Mayor Moon Heon-il) announced on the 22nd that it plans to create the 'Guro-gu Maternal and Child Health Center' by April 2024 in the idle space within the Gaebong 1-dong 2nd Community Center.

The newly established Maternal and Child Health Center was selected in May this year for the Seoul City Maternal and Child Health Center installation and operation public project. It will be promoted with a budget of 380 million KRW, including 150 million KRW from the city and 230 million KRW from the district.

The center will occupy a total area of 496㎡ on the 3rd and 4th floors out of the four floors of the Gaebong 1-dong 2nd Community Center (318-15 Gyeongin-ro, Guro-gu), with the goal of opening in April 2024.

The district plans to use this space as an integrated health management area for pregnant women and infants. It will consist of a maternity room, medical expense support room, auditorium-type program room for exercise and experiential activities, and ondol-style program room.

In particular, a separate space for counseling will be provided, which is expected to facilitate counseling involving sensitive information such as infertility support.

Additionally, convenience facilities for daily life and people with disabilities will be installed for easy access by everyone, and a smart garden will be placed on the walls of the resting area to provide visitors with a comfortable space for mental and physical relaxation.

A Guro-gu official said, “Through the Maternal and Child Health Center, more systematic and comprehensive support will be provided from pregnancy to childbirth and parenting,” adding, “We will do our best to create an environment that is good for having and raising children.”
