[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Jucheol In] Changwon City in Gyeongnam Province will operate a home treatment medical consultation center that enables 24-hour non-face-to-face medical care.


On the 14th, Changwon City announced that it will operate a "Home Management Support Consultation Center" that provides medical and administrative consultations for COVID-19 home treatment patients.


The consultation center offers various medical and administrative support services, including basic information related to home treatment such as treatment period and guidelines, basic medical consultations, linkage to designated hospitals for prescription medications, and accommodation guidance for family members of isolated patients.


Information on the home treatment medical consultation center and designated local clinics and hospitals that provide non-face-to-face medical care for home treatment patients can be found on the Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service or Changwon City Hall websites, including institution names and contact details.


Meanwhile, under the revised COVID-19 home treatment system implemented on the 12th, individuals aged 60 and over, who are at high risk of severe illness or death, are classified as the intensive management group, while other home treatment patients are classified as the general management group. The intensive management group is monitored twice daily by home treatment management medical institutions.
