Yeongdeok-gun Introduces New Postpartum Care Subsidy Up to 1 Million Won

Yeongdeok-gun, Gyeongbuk Province, will provide a new postpartum care expense support of up to 1 million KRW per newborn to all families giving birth starting next year, aiming to alleviate the economic burden on childbirth families and support mothers' health recovery and stable living after childbirth.

Yeongdeok-gun newly supports postpartum care expenses up to 1 million KRW.

The support target is mothers who give birth on or after January 1, 2025, who have registered the birth in Yeongdeok-gun and have been registered residents of Yeongdeok-gun from six months before the birth date until the application date.

The postpartum care expenses can be used for postpartum care center fees, out-of-pocket expenses at childbirth-related hospitals and clinics, medicine and herbal medicine costs necessary for postpartum recovery, and 90% of the out-of-pocket transportation expenses for the mother and newborn health management support project for long-distance travel. However, out-of-pocket expenses already supported by the mother and newborn health management support project are excluded.

Applications for support can be made by visiting the Yeongdeok-gun Public Health Center's childbirth support team within three months from the date of birth or online through Government24. When applying, applicants must submit the postpartum care expense support application form, a copy of the resident registration certificate, a copy of the bankbook, receipts for postpartum care center use, receipts for out-of-pocket medical and pharmaceutical expenses, and receipts for out-of-pocket long-distance transportation expenses related to the mother and newborn health management project.

Kang Jong-ho, Director of Health Promotion at Yeongdeok-gun Public Health Center, stated, "We will continue to promote various support projects for health promotion and management so that mothers can fully recover their health and raise healthy children through happy parenting."

In addition to childbirth encouragement support projects to overcome low birth rates, Yeongdeok-gun Public Health Center operates various programs such as mother and newborn health management support, rubella testing support for prospective and newlywed couples, vaccination cost support, prenatal examination cost support for pregnant women, infertility diagnostic test cost support, early life health management projects, prenatal health classes, and rental of childbirth and childcare supplies.
