This is a system specially prepared by the Ministry of Health and Welfare to help people aged 20 to 64 manage their own health. Even at a young age, the number of people taking medication or self-managing high blood pressure and diabetes is increasing. Therefore, we provide special incentives to use points in designated places so that you can practice a healthy life on your own.
We will tell you what you need to do to receive points, who can apply, and how to apply for the Healthy Living Practice Subsidy.
Please check the eligibility below and be sure to apply to receive points.
In particular, many people in their 40s, 50s and 60s apply.
It’s a system that kills two birds with one stone, allowing you to take care of your health and earn points, so be sure to apply!

1. What is the Healthy Living Practice Subsidy System?
People’s health is deteriorating due to various lifestyle habits such as drinking, smoking, and overeating. Therefore, you must be even more aware of how to check your health status and take the initiative to give up bad habits and make efforts to develop healthy habits. The Ministry of Health and Welfare awards points to citizens who practice and improve their own healthy lifestyle.
The points provided can be used like cash at designated locations. In 2024, the number of places where points can be used will increase, with 109 cities/counties/districts providing it.
