Secured 1 Billion KRW in National and Provincial Funding for Repair and Maintenance Projects at Four Locations

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Muan-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Kim San) has been selected as a health promotion type public health center, and the Illo, Hyeongyeong, and Haeje, Unnam public health centers will provide community-based health care services centered on small living zones through renovation and repair.

According to Muan-gun on the 18th, it was selected in June last year for the '2020 Rural Medical Service Improvement Project' and secured a national and provincial budget of 1 billion KRW.

The Rural Medical Service Improvement Project is a project implemented for the first time this year, with 15 locations nationwide selected, and Muan-gun achieved the great success of having 4 locations selected.

Accordingly, construction is underway to transform the public health centers into health promotion type centers that secure a healthy living zone for local residents and take responsibility for their health by operating together.

Jung Su-yeon, head of Muan-gun Public Health Center, said, "The medical services at the public health centers currently under construction are being suspended or minimized," and added, "We will establish infrastructure that can fully serve as a community-based, close-contact public health center that can sufficiently resolve temporary inconveniences."

A Muan-gun Public Health Center official stated, "The health promotion type public health centers, which will be completed early next month, will fulfill the functions of an indispensable public health institution for promoting healthy living practices among local residents," and added, "We have completed the application for the project so that the remaining public health centers that were not selected this year can be chosen for the 'Rural Medical Service Improvement Project' next year."

He emphasized, "We will not only improve the facilities but also reinforce medical equipment to become a public health institution that residents truly need."
