Abstract
Korea has recorded a very low total fertility rate of 1.15 in 2009. Young Koreans tend to
postpone their marriage, and as a result of late marriage, the average age of first pregnancy
has been continuously increasing. Older married couples often produced multifetal pregnancies
due to assisted reproduction. Elderly pregnancies and multifetal pregnancies contribute to high
maternal/perinatal mortalities and morbidities. Basic maternal and child health services including
prenatal, delivery, and postpartum care are covered under national health insurance in Korea.
However, preconception care is not covered under national health insurance nor any other preventive
service program. Many developed countries including United States and academic
societies have emphasized the importance of preconception care and have proposed guidelines
on preconception care. No suggested guidelines for preconception care have been developed in
Korea. Evidence-based guidelines on preconception care should be developed with the cooperation
of associated academic societies. In addition, the Korean government should develop a
comprehensive plan for preventive services for women including preconception care.
