Goheung-gun Actively Cares for Vulnerable Groups Amid Consecutive Heatwaves

[Goheung=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Jeonnam Goheung-gun (Governor Song Gwi-geun) announced on the 27th that it has started providing customized health services focused on vulnerable groups amid the ongoing heatwave.

In order to proactively respond to the unusually intense heatwave compared to previous years, 43 teams composed of staff from the county health center, health branch offices, and clinics will directly visit and conduct telephone monitoring to manage the health of over 7,300 vulnerable individuals.

They are also making efforts to circulate through town and township senior centers to spread information on summer health management and actions to take in case of heat-related illnesses. Additionally, they emphasize to the general residents through village broadcasts twice a day to refrain from farming work, avoid going out, and rest during the hottest hours.

In particular, for chronic disease patients, the visiting dedicated teams provide guidance on healthy summer living rules and check their health directly.

The county plans to continue this enhanced health management until the heatwave subsides.
