Naju City Provides 200,000 Won Support for 'Pregnant Women Health Care Expenses'

[Naju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] Naju City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Kang In-gyu) announced on the 13th that it will provide 200,000 KRW per person as "COVID-19 Pregnancy Health Management Expenses."

The support target is residents of Naju City confirmed to be pregnant from the 24th of last month, when the COVID-19 Emergency Livelihood Support Measures were announced, until the 16th of this month. The pregnant woman herself or her spouse can apply on her behalf.

Applications can be submitted by visiting the Naju City Health Center or Bitgaram Health Life Support Center, or online through the city hall website until the 16th.

Registered mail applications are valid until the application deadline and must be sent to the health center with the required documents attached.

The required documents include the pregnancy health management expense application form, a copy of the resident registration abstract, pregnancy confirmation documents such as a pregnancy certificate or maternity handbook, and a copy of the bankbook in the name of the pregnant woman.

The COVID-19 pregnancy health management expenses cannot be combined with other emergency disaster relief funds such as the special child care support fund.

A health center official said, "Additional applications will not be accepted after the application period, so please be sure to note the period. We hope this will help local pregnant women have healthy childbirths even a little." He added, "We will continue to actively promote health promotion programs to improve birth rates and raise awareness about pregnancy and childbirth."
