[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Cho Myung-ja, Chair of Suwon City Council, received a commendation plaque from the Korean Medical Association on the 26th at the regular general meeting of the Suwon Korean Medicine Association held at the Ramada Hotel in Suwon, in recognition of her contributions to the Korean medicine infertility support project for overcoming low birth rates.

Chair Cho initiated the ordinance bill for the 'Suwon City Korean Medicine Infertility Support Project' last year, becoming the first in the nation to include male infertility treatment support, and promoted the project. The ordinance passed last year and support for male infertility treatment began this year.

Chair Cho Myung-ja stated, "Infertility is not just a women's issue. Through the Korean medicine infertility support project that includes support for men, I hope to overcome the national issue of low birth rates and bring happiness and hope to infertile families" and added, "I will do my best to support healthy pregnancy and childbirth."

Meanwhile, the Suwon Korean Medicine Association has been contributing to creating a birth-friendly environment since 2012 through the Korean medicine infertility treatment support project, and since 2013 through herbal medicine discount support for women giving birth to their second child.
