[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] The Hapcheon-gun Public Health Center in Gyeongnam conducted a first half-year job training on the 12th for 30 public health doctors to establish their service period and efficiently perform their duties.

Currently, the military health center has 30 public health doctors (16 general practitioners, 5 dentists, and 9 Korean medicine doctors) serving a three-year military service substitute period.

They are assigned to health centers in medically underserved areas such as farming and fishing villages, contributing to resolving medical imbalance in these vulnerable regions.

This job training was conducted for all public health doctors and covered roles and basic duties to be observed, service regulations, integrity and courtesy education, explanations of current pending projects and new projects for this year (home visit nursing center, pilot project for medical support in medically underserved areas), and the visiting Korean medicine health promotion project.

Imi-gyeong, the head of the health center, said, “The role of public health doctors is very important in Hapcheon-gun, a medically underserved area. We hope you do your best so that the elderly in the district can live healthily and comfortably.”
