The postpartum care expense support project in Ulju County is available to families with babies born on or after July 3, 2025. Parents (either the mother or father) who have been registered residents of Ulju County from at least one month before the child's birth date are eligible to apply. The county provides reimbursement of up to 500,000 won per newborn. In the case of multiple births, the support amount increases according to the number of newborns.

The support funds can be used for designated purposes, including postpartum care center fees, out-of-pocket expenses for maternal and newborn health care assistants and home care services, and the purchase of pharmaceuticals and health supplements at pharmacies.

For detailed information, including the required documents for application, residents can visit the Ulju County Public Health Center website or inquire by phone.

An official from Ulju County stated, "We find it very meaningful that the first beneficiary has emerged from this project, which was launched to substantially ease the financial burden on families with newborns," adding, "We will continue to actively promote the project and provide ongoing support so that more families can benefit."
