Jinan-gun Excels in Cancer Management and Health Screening Projects

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Go Dallyeong] Jinangun announced on the 9th that it received the Excellence Award in the 2019 Jeonbuk Region Cancer Management and Health Screening Project Evaluation.

As a result of the evaluation, Jinangun received comprehensive excellent ratings in cancer screening participation rates for ages 20 to 69, general screening for medical aid recipients, infant screening, promotional activities linked with the Jeonbuk Regional Cancer Center, and participation in outstanding cases related to national cancer management.

Despite unfavorable conditions compared to other cities and counties due to the region's characteristics such as a high elderly population, lack of screening information and awareness, and prohibition of screening vehicles moving outside the area, Jinangun has encouraged participation by establishing a cooperative system with screening institutions and related organizations and actively promoting during various events.

Additionally, through cooperation with health branch offices and clinic project managers, efforts were made to ensure screening by individually visiting or calling eligible participants.

Lee Imok, Director of the Health Center, said, “We will continue to actively promote national cancer management and health screening projects to the best of our ability to improve residents' health and quality of life.”
