The 2nd Term Jeonju City Integrated Care Public-Private Council 'Launch'

Policy Recommendations for Integrated Care Projects, Deriving Measures to Strengthen Public-Private Cooperation

[Jeonju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Han-ho] On the 9th, Jeonju City held the inauguration ceremony of the ‘2nd Jeonju City Community Integrated Care Public-Private Council’ to successfully promote the convergence-type integrated care project.

Following the 1st public-private council established in 2019, this second public-private council was relaunched with the purpose of completing an independent model of the Jeonju-type integrated care project, which has expanded the convergence-type integrated care project to include not only the elderly but also people with disabilities and mental illnesses.

The public-private council includes Jeonju Mayor Kim Seung-su and Byeon Jae-gwan, the general advisor for integrated care, as well as representatives from 43 organizations including △10 welfare and care sectors such as the Jeonju Community Social Security Council △11 health and medical sectors such as the Jeonju Medical Association △4 disability and mental health sectors such as the Jeonju Disabled Persons’ Federation △6 academic, housing, and social solidarity sectors such as the LH Jeonbuk Regional Headquarters and the Department of Social Welfare at Jeonbuk National University △and integrated care advisory committee members.

Council members will hold meetings at least once every quarter to provide policy recommendations on integrated care projects, set directions for project implementation, and derive ways to strengthen public-private cooperation.

Meanwhile, the community integrated care pilot project is a social service policy that provides visiting medical, nursing, and daily life services so that residents who need care due to aging or disability can live healthily in their usual homes.

Additionally, various projects such as △building a health-medical safety net △integrated care supporters (senior jobs) △a safety app service to prevent solitary deaths △and a smart care platform are being promoted.
