The government supports the mother of a 'health manager' even if she helps her daughter postpartum care.

Not only the mother-in-law but also the mother-in-law who is qualified as a health manager can receive government support even if she helps the mother with postpartum cooking.

The Committee on Low Fertility and Aging Society said it will revise related guidelines to allow government support if postpartum helpers make a different living even if they are in a family relationship under civil law and implement it from January next year.

Until now, mother-in-law, who has different livelihoods and is qualified as a health manager, was eligible for maternal and newborn health care projects, but mother-in-law was excluded from the list because she regarded it as a family relationship regardless of whether she lived together.

The committee explained that if the health care worker's service provider is a family member under civil law, it was not eligible for support due to the possibility of illegal supply and demand, but the business guidelines were revised due to issues of equity with the mother-in-law.
