[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] Gyeongsangnam-do announced on the 18th that Yangsan Pusan National University Hospital has been finally selected for the 'Regional Responsible Medical Institution Public Offering Project.'

The Ministry of Health and Welfare has set the country into 17 zones and 70 regions to strengthen essential medical services directly related to life, and is building an essential medical cooperation system together with local governments.

Last year, national university hospitals and local medical centers in 14 zones and 29 regions were designated as regional and zonal responsible medical institutions.

This year, three zonal responsible medical institutions and six regional responsible medical institutions were selected.

Yangsan Pusan National University Hospital was designated as the regional responsible medical institution for the Gimhae zone (Gimhae, Miryang, Yangsan cities) and receives an annual total project fund of 370 million KRW, with 185 million KRW each from national and provincial budgets.

It will first take charge of linking and coordinating essential medical services within the region, such as emergency, trauma, cerebrovascular and cardiovascular severe medical care, maternal, neonatal, and pediatric care, rehabilitation medical care, community health management, infection control, and patient safety.

To this end, it operates an essential medical council composed of excellent local hospitals, government-designated regional centers, public health centers, fire stations, and others to implement the regional public health medical plan.

In May, a dedicated organization called the 'Public Health Medical Cooperation Team' will be newly established within the hospital, assigning two doctors as dedicated personnel and newly hiring three nurses, one social worker, and one researcher.

Shin Jong-woo, Director of the Provincial Welfare and Health Bureau, stated, "With Yangsan Pusan National University Hospital selected as the regional responsible medical institution, we plan to more vigorously promote the governor's pledge project to establish an integrated medical belt by zone and serve as a hub that connects essential public medical services that residents can feel."
