The program is open to infertile couples, including those in common-law marriages, residing within the county. Regardless of income, each individual can receive up to 1.8 million won in support for traditional Korean medicine infertility treatment costs.


Treatment is provided over a period of six months: for the first four months, designated Korean medicine clinics will offer herbal medicine, acupuncture, moxibustion, and other traditional infertility treatments. For the following two months, participants will undergo follow-up management and pregnancy status checks.


During the six months from the start of treatment, participants must not undergo assisted reproductive procedures such as in vitro fertilization or artificial insemination. They are also required to cooperate with follow-up monitoring during the program period.


Couples interested in applying can find detailed information on the Imsil County Health and Medical Center website or by contacting the Health Services Department.



Kim Daegon, Director of the Health and Medical Center, stated, "We hope this traditional Korean medicine infertility treatment support program will provide practical help to couples struggling with infertility. We will continue our efforts to create a birth-friendly environment in the future."
