[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jo Hangyu] Yoo Doo-seok, the governor of Jangseong-gun, Jeollanam-do, received the Minister of Health and Welfare Award at the "2nd Korea Sharing and Caring Welfare Awards."

The Welfare Awards ceremony, co-hosted by Welfare TV and the Gomduri Welfare Foundation, is held to encourage those who have contributed to the development of social welfare and to widely promote the spirit of beautiful volunteerism and a warm culture of sharing.

Governor Yoo has been leading the county administration with the happiness of the residents as the top priority during both the 6th and 7th terms of the elected government.

He has gained attention for implementing comprehensive elderly welfare policies, ranging from the Hyo-do Pass (integrated senior citizen hairdressing and bathing vouchers), the lowering of earthen floors project (installing stairs and ramps in traditional houses' earthen floors), support for shingles vaccination costs, to the construction of Nuri Town, a public silver housing complex for 150 households.

In addition, he has actively listened to the difficulties of local residents throughout the region and taken the lead in identifying welfare blind spots.

Governor Yoo said, "I will take this as a sign to quickly alleviate the suffering of the residents caused by the prolonged COVID-19 situation," and added, "I will do my best to carry out county administration that provides comfort and hope."
