In particular, Yeongdeungpo-gu expanded the support for fertility test costs to male and female residents, and received positive responses through customized support programs such as group counseling for infertile women and health management services through visiting nurses. These efforts have greatly contributed to ensuring appropriate support, especially for vulnerable groups and marginalized pregnant women and infants.
Yeongdeungpo-gu District Mayor Choi Ho-kwon said, “Today, when the sound of a baby’s cry is precious, we will increase the birth rate and enhance the happiness of parents and children through the maternal and child health project,” and added, “We will do our best to make Yeongdeungpo a ‘good place to raise children’ where many young people settle down in Yeongdeungpo, get married, have children, and raise them.”
It is expected that Yeongdeungpo-gu’s continued efforts and policies will continue to provide happy lives to many pregnant women and infants.
