The district has gathered scattered information to ensure that families preparing for pregnancy, pregnant families, and parents of infants and young children can receive appropriate benefits related to pregnancy, childbirth, and childcare. The guidebook contains information on over 50 support programs across four main categories: pre-pregnancy (pregnancy preparation) support, support for pregnant women, support for childbirth and infants, and support for multi-child families.

Key programs for healthy pregnancy preparation include the "Pre-Pregnancy Health Management Support Project," which provides up to 130,000 KRW in examination fees for couples aged 25-49 residing in Yangcheon-gu who wish to conceive, as well as various medical expense supports and services such as the "Seoul City Infertile Couple Procedure Support" and "Pregnancy Preparation Psychological Program Support" for infertile couples.

For families with pregnant women, the guidebook includes information on the "Pregnant Women Registration Management Service" for health management during pregnancy, the "Seoul Baby First Step Home Visit Support," the "High-Risk Pregnant Women Medical Expense Support" which covers hospitalization costs for high-risk pregnancies, and the "Mom Comfortable Pregnancy Service Support," which allows integrated application for folic acid and iron supplements, pregnancy emblems, and transportation expenses for pregnant women.

Additionally, after childbirth, families can find support policies such as the "Postpartum Mother and Newborn Health Care Support Project," which provides health care workers to reduce economic burdens, free health checkups for infants and young children, free national essential vaccinations, and the "First Meeting Voucher" for childbirth families. The guidebook also includes information on various benefits such as public utility fee reductions and care services for multi-child families.

The "All-Care Book" is produced as an electronic file and can be downloaded from the Yangcheon-gu Office and Yangcheon-gu Public Health Center websites. Residents visiting the health center, Maternal and Child Health Promotion Center, or local community centers are provided with a "QR Code Shortcut" sticker to conveniently attach to maternity notebooks and other materials for easy access.

Mayor Lee Gi-jae stated, "We have created this guidebook containing timely information to ensure that various benefits being promoted to address the ultra-low birthrate issue are not missed. Moving forward, we will continue to create a child-friendly Yangcheon through systematic and diverse support measures from pregnancy to childbirth and parenting."
