He also stated, “Since prevention and early detection of dementia are important, we will continue to do our best to promote dementia management projects for the healthy and happy elderly life of the residents.”

Meanwhile, Goheung County operates the dementia counseling call center ‘Hanaro Service,’ providing 24-hour consultation on all dementia-related matters and receiving great response from residents.
