Suncheon-si Wins Triple Crown in This Year's Integrated Health Promotion Project Evaluation

Selected as Excellent Institutions for Two Digital Healthcare Projects and Cancer Management Project

[Suncheon=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Suncheon City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Heo Seok) announced on the 20th that it has won three crowns this year in the integrated health promotion field.

The city was selected as an excellent institution in two digital healthcare projects in 2021 (AI·IoT-based Senior Health Management Pilot Project, Public Health Center Mobile Healthcare Project) and in the Gwangju·Jeonnam Cancer Management Project evaluation.

The AI·IoT-based Senior Health Management Pilot Project and the Public Health Center Mobile Healthcare Project were highly evaluated for effectively carrying out the projects by significantly exceeding the national average in efforts to fill gaps in community health promotion projects and improve health behaviors, number of registrants, intermediate and final examination completion rates, and the proportion of people with at least one reduced health risk, contributing to the activation of digital healthcare.

In addition, the cancer management project received favorable evaluations for contributing to the national cancer management project by conducting differentiated projects from other local governments, such as the Family Love Sharing Center, a self-help group for home cancer patients, COVID-19 response health calls, and non-face-to-face self-management programs.

A health promotion department official of Suncheon City said, “Despite tasks such as strengthening quarantine and vaccination due to the spread of COVID-19, this result is due to the united efforts of the staff for the health promotion of citizens,” and added, “We will continue to do our best so that citizens can enjoy a healthy and happy life.”
