[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Gu In-mo, the mayor of Geochang County, announced on the 31st that he presented plaques of appreciation to seven public health doctors who are scheduled to complete their service in April and encouraged them for their hard work.

On this day, the plaques of appreciation were given in recognition of their work at screening clinics even on weekends due to the outbreak and prolonged duration of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

Additionally, despite being dispatched to high-risk areas such as the Seoul metropolitan area amid the spread of COVID-19, they did not hesitate to serve, significantly contributing to the preemptive blocking of infectious disease spread in the community and maintaining a 24-hour emergency quarantine system at all times.

The mayor expressed, “I am grateful for your sense of duty in serving as public health doctors to promote the health of local residents and prevent the spread of infectious diseases,” and urged, “Please continue to strive to provide high-quality healthcare services to local residents even after completing your service.”

Public health doctors are assigned to healthcare institutions in medically underserved areas instead of military service under the ‘Special Measures Act for Health and Medical Care in Rural and Fishing Villages,’ serving for three years by providing medical treatment and public health projects for local residents while performing medical activities.
