[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Jinju City in Gyeongnam announced on the 30th that three institutions in Jinju were selected as excellent institutions in the 2020 Ministry of Health and Welfare Elderly Customized Care Service Performance Evaluation.

This evaluation was conducted to select outstanding performing institutions that contributed to the successful establishment of the Elderly Customized Care Service system in its first year, aiming to promote the spread of exemplary cases and boost morale to enhance the efficiency of the project.

There are 54 performing institutions in Gyeongnam Province, with one each in Changwon, Gimhae, Goseong, and Geochang, and three in Jinju being selected as excellent institutions.

The significance is even greater as this evaluation marks the first step of the newly reorganized and implemented service.

A Jinju city official said, “Although there were difficulties due to the initial implementation of the project coinciding with the COVID-19 situation, we are grateful to the performing institutions who worked together each time,” and added, “We will continue to do our best to minimize care gaps for the elderly and provide personalized services to help create a healthy old age.”
