This recruitment aims to create a public postpartum care environment where mothers and newborns can feel safe, while promoting postpartum health management for citizens and fostering a childbirth-friendly atmosphere in the local community.

Until now, there has been no postpartum care center in Taebaek City, causing inconvenience for mothers who had to travel to nearby areas. However, with the opening of the public postpartum care center, it is expected that professional and safe postpartum care services will be available within the region.

The application announcement period runs from October 24 to November 12 (a total of 20 days), and applications can be submitted in person at the Health Promotion Team on the second floor of Taebaek City Health Center from November 5 to November 12.

Details regarding eligibility requirements, required documents, and other information can be found on the "Notices and Announcements" section of the Taebaek City Hall website.

The scope of entrusted work includes the overall operation and facility management of the public postpartum care center. The final operating agency will be selected through a public recruitment process and a review by the Private Consignment Review Committee.

A Taebaek City official stated, "The Taebaek City Public Postpartum Care Center will help reduce the financial burden on families after childbirth and serve as a key foundation for making Taebaek a city where it is good to have children. We hope institutions with operational experience and expertise will actively participate."

Meanwhile, the Taebaek City Public Postpartum Care Center is scheduled for completion in December 2025, after which it will undergo use approval. Following a two-month period for the removal of indoor hazardous substances and pilot operation, the center is slated to officially open in March 2026.
