[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Nosik] Imsil County is receiving great response as it promotes a free denture prosthesis support project for elderly people, targeting medical aid recipients aged 65 and over who are on the national basic livelihood medical benefits and those who have transitioned to the lower-income health insurance category.

The county health care center has selected 13 eligible recipients on a first-come, first-served basis and plans to provide free services including dentures and post-denture care.

However, those who have previously received upper or lower dentures at the health care center or have benefited from dental clinics within the past 7 years are excluded from eligibility.

Eligible applicants can apply by visiting the town or township office of their registered address.

The health care center will conduct oral examinations and interviews to determine the feasibility of denture production, and then refer the applicants to cooperating dental clinics within the county where they can receive denture treatment.

Yang Hyungsik, director of the county health care center, said, “We will continue to provide more benefits to reduce the economic burden on elderly people suffering from tooth loss and help them smile brightly.”
