[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Woo-kwon] The Dementia Safety Center in Gimhae-si, Gyeongnam announced on the 20th that it held a case meeting to select candidates for public guardianship for dementia.

At this case meeting, 10 people including the chairman of the case management committee attended to discuss the necessity of guardianship for the candidates, and the selected candidates will be petitioned for guardianship trial at the family court.

The newly launched public guardianship project for dementia by the city is a project that guarantees human dignity by supporting dementia elderly who have difficulty appointing guardians themselves to use the guardianship system.

If selected as a public guardianship candidate, they can receive support for property management such as bankbooks, issuance of documents from government offices, use of various social welfare services, medical services, and residence-related administrative support.

Lee Jong-hak, director of the health center, explained, "We will strive to discover wards and promote the project so that the dementia public guardianship project can be established. It will be possible to support the economic and legal rights of dementia elderly who are in blind spots of care and welfare."
