[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-ho] Pohang City announced on the 25th that it has been selected as the only city in Gyeongbuk Province for the Ministry of Health and Welfare's 'Home-based Medical Care Pilot Project.'
The 'Home-based Medical Care Pilot Project' is a community integrated care initiative that provides home services such as medical care, caregiving, meals, and housing to long-term medical aid inpatients after discharge from the hospital to help them settle stably at home. A total project cost of 250 million KRW will be invested over two years starting in June.
Pohang City plans to select eligible long-term inpatients for discharge in cooperation with partner medical institutions, establish customized care plans tailored to their health conditions, provide medical services, and conduct continuous monitoring.
