Abstract
The purpose of this study is to analyze the economic feasibility of public postpartum care centers established for health care of low-income postpartum mothers. 6 of 8 public postpartum care centers were used to verify the economic feasibility and research data were collected through the centers. A sensitivity analysis was performed with the bed turnover rate, assuming that users in a postpartum care center will be decreased. As a result, B/C ratio was estimated to be 1.50 and the net benefit was estimated to be KRW 186,557 in million. A sensitivity analysis showed that B/C was 1.42 at 17.4 of bed turnover rate and 1.26 at 15.4 which indicates the lowest bed turnover rate among subjects. A public postpartum care center was evaluated as economically feasible as public works. Therefore it is necessary that the public postpartum care centers operated by local governments should be expanded through legal amendment.
