[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] A project to care for the "caregivers" is starting. This is because taking care of someone also exposes one to significant stress.

The National Health Insurance Service Busan-Ulsan-Gyeongnam Regional Headquarters announced on the 1st that from September to November, over a period of three months, it has launched a project aimed at alleviating stress experienced during the caregiving process for about 150 care workers in Gimhae City, Gyeongnam.

This project is being promoted by the NHIS regional headquarters to foster a healthy caregiving culture within the local community.

The project is carried out in collaboration with the Gyeongsangnam-do Social Service Institute. The focus is not on the recipients of community care but on managing the health of the care providers themselves. The significance lies in improving the quality of social services through stress relief.

The National Health Insurance Service Busan-Ulsan-Gyeongnam Regional Headquarters manages the overall operation of the healing program, while the Gyeongnam Social Service Institute supports participant recruitment and program operation.

Jang Su-mok, head of the Busan-Ulsan-Gyeongnam Regional Headquarters, said, “This project is being conducted in response to community demands, and the NHIS plans to listen carefully to all voices and reflect them in cooperation with related organizations.”
