[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Sharon] A white paper and video records (documentary) documenting all processes of the public discourse on expanding public healthcare in Western Gyeongnam have been produced.

The newly produced white paper and video records were created through about three months of public discourse work following the delivery of the 'Policy Recommendation on Public Discourse for Expanding Public Healthcare in Western Gyeongnam' on July 21, and they cover the entire process of approximately one year from the start of the discourse to the delivery of the policy recommendation.

In particular, the white paper emphasizes that all stages from preparation to execution of the public discourse on expanding public healthcare in Western Gyeongnam were promoted through communication and consensus among various stakeholders and experts, and that the existing academic model was creatively planned based on the realities of Gyeongnam.

Furthermore, amid the recent heightened interest in the public healthcare sector due to the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) situation, it is also significant that this is the nation's first public discourse in the public healthcare field.

The province plans to distribute the public discourse white paper and video records to all provincial government departments, all city and county offices, the provincial citizen participation group, civic (professional) organizations, and libraries.

Yoon Nansil, Director of the Provincial Social Innovation Promotion Team, stated, “These records sincerely capture the achievements reached through communication and consensus with the citizens over the past year. Our province will use this public discourse as an opportunity to further communicate and collaborate with citizens to develop various solutions to problems,” adding, “We hope it will be used as basic data for policy formulation and introduced to other local governments as a nationwide model case.”
