Gurye-gun Strengthens Health Management for Flood Victims

[Gurye=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yuk Miseok] On the 29th, Jeollanam-do Gurye-gun announced that since the 26th, it has been conducting intensive visitation management services for disaster victims who lost their homes due to heavy rain and are living in temporary modular housing.

During this visitation period, the county is identifying whether individuals have underlying conditions such as hypertension and diabetes, guiding them to consistently manage medication to prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and providing supplies such as nutritional supplements, patches, masks, as well as customized health management services.

Additionally, to prepare for the cold wave in winter, they have provided health management guidelines including light indoor physical activities, maintaining an appropriate indoor temperature (18~20℃), and proper ventilation.

Previously, the Health and Medical Center had provided visitation management services in pairs since August for vulnerable groups at risk of health problems due to the heavy rain.

A Health and Medical Center official stated, “When people lose their homes and fall into despair, especially those vulnerable to health issues such as chronic disease patients or elderly living alone over 65 years old, greater attention is needed,” adding, “As the COVID-19 situation prolongs, we will do our best to ensure that vulnerable groups are not neglected in health management services.”
