Gyeongbuk Province Opens Southern Region Elderly Protection Center in Gyeongsan City... Fourth in East, West, South, and North
Jurisdiction of 6 Cities and Counties in the Southern Region (Gyeongsan-si, Yeongcheon-si, Chilgok-gun, Gunwi-gun, Goryeong-gun, Cheongdo-gun)
[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-ho] Gyeongsangbuk-do established the Gyeongbuk Southern Elderly Protection Center (218 Daegu-daero, Jinryang-eup, Gyeongsan) in Gyeongsan City, the southern region, on the 24th to prevent elder abuse and protect human rights, and held an opening ceremony.
Until now, Gyeongsangbuk-do has been solely operating three Elderly Protection Centers (Pohang, Yecheon, Gimcheon) responsible for investigating elder abuse cases and providing elder human rights education. However, due to the increasing elderly population and the large area, it was very difficult for the three centers to cover 23 cities and counties.
With this opening, by operating four Elderly Protection Centers in the east, west, south, and north, it has become possible to carry out various projects such as 24-hour elder abuse case reporting and on-site investigation, elder abuse prevention education and promotion, and building community networks.
The newly established Southern Elderly Protection Center is operated by the Social Welfare Corporation Joy Welfare Foundation (Chairman Shin Young-man) with support from the Ministry of Health and Welfare and Gyeongsangbuk-do. The staff, including the director and eight professional counselors, will be responsible for preventing elder abuse and protecting elder human rights in six cities and counties in the southern region (Gyeongsan-si, Yeongcheon-si, Chilgok-gun, Gunwi-gun, Goryeong-gun, Cheongdo-gun).

Kang Seong-jo, Deputy Governor of Gyeongsangbuk-do, said, "Preventing elder abuse is more important to focus on prevention rather than post-response, so the interest and cooperation of the entire nation are urgently needed," and added, "The Southern Elderly Protection Center opening today is expected to play a significant role in preventing elder abuse and promoting human rights protection."
