[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Tongyeong City, Gyeongnam announced on the 21st that it has designated Tongyeong Red Cross Hospital as a cooperating medical institution and held a business agreement ceremony after being selected for the 2021 Home Medical Care Pilot Project.

The home medical care project supports essential services for home life such as medical care, caregiving, meals, and mobility assistance to medical aid recipients who are long-term hospitalized despite having a low necessity for hospitalization for treatment, helping them to live a healthy and independent life with family and neighbors at home.

Starting with this agreement ceremony, various supports will be provided to help medical aid recipients settle in the local community.

Tongyeong Red Cross Hospital, designated as a cooperating institution, will form a dedicated team to establish support plans according to the needs of each recipient, and provide professional monitoring for smooth recovery, including medication guidance, dietary and nutrition education, and regular health status observation.

Mayor Kang Seok-ju stated, "We hope this pilot project will expand as a universal model for community-integrated care in the future."
