Goyang Special City announced that starting this year, it will expand the target of the **’Pre-Pregnancy Health Care Support Project’** from the existing couples-to-be to all men and women aged 20 to 49. This project is a project that supports the cost of essential fertility tests to early discover and manage high-risk factors that can affect pregnancy and childbirth.
Previously, couples preparing for pregnancy (including common-law couples and couples planning to become pregnant) were provided with a once-in-a-lifetime support of 130,000 won for women (ovarian function test, gynecological ultrasound) and 50,000 won for men (semen test).
However, starting this year, anyone, male or female, aged 20 to 49, including single people, can receive support, and the cost of examinations is supported once per life cycle, up to three times.
The life cycle is divided into ▲29 years old or younger (1st cycle) ▲30-34 years old (2nd cycle) ▲**35-49 years old (3rd cycle)**, and you can apply once for each cycle.
You can apply by visiting the public health center in your registered address or by applying online through the e-public health center.
Goyang City officials emphasized that this expansion of the project will allow more benefits to be received by men and women who are planning to become pregnant in the future or who need reproductive health management, regardless of their marital status. They also added that they expect this support to greatly contribute to preventing infertility and creating a healthy pregnancy and childbirth environment.
Meanwhile, for detailed information about the business, please contact each public health center or check the Goyang City Public Health Center website.
