Visiting Korean Medicine Clinics Reduce Residents' Medical Expenses and Improve Quality of Life
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Heo Seonsik] Gokseong-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Yoo Geun-gi) announced on the 9th that it will provide traditional Korean medicine services by directly visiting households in 28 medically underserved villages in the center of Gokseong-eup.
The home-based traditional Korean medicine treatment will be conducted from May to September, targeting over 300 elderly individuals with mobility difficulties who have limited access to medical care. A visiting team consisting of a Korean medicine doctor, physical therapist, and nurse will visit homes directly to provide customized traditional Korean medicine services.
The visiting team diagnoses the constitution and diseases of the subjects and informs them of necessary health management methods. First, the physical therapist guides daily movement training, and the nurse checks blood pressure and blood sugar levels to help individuals manage their own health. The Korean medicine doctor provides medical services such as acupuncture, herbal medicine prescriptions, and traditional Korean medicine patches to help residents live healthily.
