[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Go Dallyoung] Jangsu-gun Health and Medical Center announced on the 11th that it will officially operate a visiting health care project that links the visiting health care project and oral health project as social distancing due to COVID-19 shifts to everyday life distancing.

The visiting health care project is conducted by a team of visiting nurses and dental hygienists who directly visit seniors aged 65 and over and health-vulnerable groups to provide basic tests such as blood pressure and blood sugar and health consultations based on guidelines for practicing everyday life distancing.

It also provides health management services such as proper tooth brushing methods necessary for oral health care and denture management and usage methods for the elderly.

In addition, the medical center plans to provide appropriate services to residents by linking internal and external resources including health center programs in response to the increasing demand for continuous health care services due to population aging and the rise of chronic diseases.

Section Chief Yoon Ok-kyung said, “Due to the prolonged gap in health projects caused by COVID-19, we have resumed the visiting health care project for health-vulnerable groups,” adding, “We will strive to provide health management services in the local community to ensure healthy aging for seniors.”
