[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gwangsan-gu Public Health Center in Gwangju Metropolitan City has been selected as an excellent institution for disabled health care.
On the 10th, Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju announced that the Gwangsan-gu Public Health Center was selected as an excellent institution in the '2021 Disabled Health Care Management Project Best Practice Contest' hosted by the Ministry of Health and Welfare and the National Rehabilitation Center, receiving a commendation from the Director of the National Rehabilitation Center.
This best practice contest was held to review the achievements of the disabled health care management project targeting public health centers of metropolitan cities and provinces nationwide, regional rehabilitation hospitals, etc., and 15 institutions including Gwangsan-gu received commendations from the Director of the National Rehabilitation Center.
Since April last year, the Gwangsan-gu Public Health Center has been operating a customized home-visit rehabilitation service where physical therapists directly visit the homes of disabled persons whose activity range has decreased due to COVID-19, providing muscle strengthening exercises and gait training, striving to minimize rehabilitation gaps for the disabled.
In the process of operating the home-visit rehabilitation project, Gwangsan-gu linked with the Shinjoongnyeon (Middle-aged) Job Project to secure professional personnel and operated a consultative body with related universities, medical institutions, and welfare centers to decide detailed project matters, receiving high praise for collaborative achievements.
