Geochang County Office, Gyeongnam.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Geochang-gun, Gyeongnam Province, will provide convenience facility items inside homes for people with disabilities as part of the Community-Based Rehabilitation (CBR) project starting from the 26th, in collaboration with the Gyeongsangnam-do Regional Disabled Health Care Center.

The support targets 40 individuals registered as managers of the Community-Based Rehabilitation (CBR) project at public health centers, with disability grades 1 to 3 and severe disabilities. The items provided are rubber threshold supports and two types of fall prevention safety belts.

The rubber threshold supports are useful for people with disabilities who have difficulty moving wheelchairs due to door thresholds, and the fall prevention safety belts are items that support wheelchair users to prevent them from losing balance and falling.

Support for both items simultaneously is not allowed, and applicants will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Those who wish to receive the items can apply in person at the health support department of the public health center from the 26th to November 9th. The final recipients will be selected by the Gyeongsangnam-do Regional Disabled Health Care Center.

County Governor Gu In-mo stated, “People with disabilities may face increased economic burdens for health and safety, so we will ensure that these items, provided in cooperation with the Gyeongsangnam-do Regional Disabled Health Care Center, are used carefully by those who truly need them.”
