Gwangju Nam-gu Selected as an Excellent District in the 'Medical Aid Project Evaluation'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Nam-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (Mayor Kim Byeong-nae) was selected as an excellent autonomous district in the ‘2020 Autonomous District Medical Benefit Project Evaluation’ hosted by Gwangju City.

According to Nam-gu on the 1st, Gwangju City recently conducted an evaluation targeting five autonomous districts in the Gwangju area to support the healthy lives of medical benefit recipients and stabilize the medical benefit finances.

The detailed evaluation indicators comprehensively reflected the overall medical benefit performance of all beneficiaries promoted by the five autonomous districts this year, the collection rate of unjust medical benefit profits, management of long-term hospitalized patients inside and outside the district, outpatient high-risk group medical use, project performance, and the results of the government joint evaluation.

In this evaluation, Nam-gu was honored as an excellent autonomous district by providing customized welfare services such as managing long-term hospitalized patients within the district, linking discharged patients with the Hope Welfare Support Group, strengthening health insurance burden management, and connecting housekeeping and caregiving services.

Also, by holding the Medical Benefit Deliberation Committee to promote the stabilization of medical benefit finances, and in May and June, by promoting social security systems to new beneficiaries and community organization officials at 16 administrative welfare centers in the district, efforts to stabilize the medical benefit project led to favorable evaluations.

A Nam-gu official said, “We will continue to actively promote the medical benefit project so that low-income residents can enjoy a healthy life without inconvenience,” and added, “We will realize substantial medical benefits and universal welfare to make Nam-gu a welfare district where everyone is happy.”
