The Local Government Productivity Award is evaluated in two parts: productivity index measurement and selection of excellent productivity cases.

Damyang-gun received a commendation award by achieving excellent evaluations in the health/medical and care/welfare sectors among the productivity index measurement part, in which 171 out of 226 local governments nationwide voluntarily applied.

In particular, it received the highest S grade in seven categories including COVID-19 response capability, expansion level of medical and welfare facilities, and poverty alleviation rate.

County Governor Choi Hyungsik said, “We will continue to make greater efforts to further improve the quality of life of our residents.”
