Gyeonggi Provincial Government

On the 5th, Gyeonggi Province opened the ‘Gyeonggi Northern Region Infertility and Depression Counseling Center’ at Dongguk University Ilsan Hospital in Goyang City and began full-scale operations.

The Infertility and Depression Counseling Center is an institution established to support couples experiencing emotional stress due to infertility as well as prenatal and postpartum depression.

Following the establishment of the ‘Regional Infertility and Depression Counseling Center’ in Paldal-gu, Suwon City in 2021, Gyeonggi Province has now opened a second center at Dongguk University Ilsan Hospital (27 Dongguk-ro, Ilsandong-gu, Goyang City) in the northern Gyeonggi region.

The counseling center is staffed by experts in counseling fields, centered around an obstetrics and gynecology specialist (center director) and a psychiatry specialist (deputy director), along with nurses, social workers, and clinical psychologists.

The center provides counseling services to infertile couples and pregnant women, medical interventions for high-risk mental health groups, group programs that help with psychological issues, forest experience programs, and various other services and programs.

A dedicated counselor provides one-on-one counseling from registration to conclusion, and all programs operate by reservation.

Jang Seok-mi, Director of Health Promotion at Gyeonggi Province, stated, "With the opening of the Gyeonggi Northern Region Infertility and Depression Counseling Center, infertile couples and pregnant women in the northern Gyeonggi area, who previously had difficulty accessing counseling centers, can now conveniently use the counseling center."
