On August 21, according to the Yichang Municipal Bureau of Medical Insurance, since the launch of the “instant application and processing”model for maternity subsidies on June 13, more than 1,100 insured female employees have received over 20 million yuan through this streamlined approach. The introduction of this model not only strengthens the maternity rights of female workers but also serves as a local effort to create a birth-friendly atmosphere.
