[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] On the 12th at 2 p.m., Busan City successfully concluded the Village Health Center Performance Sharing Day event titled “We Are Now Going to the Village Health Center,” held at the city hall auditorium.

The program included ▲awards for outstanding institutions and contributors in the village health center projects throughout the year ▲project performance reports ▲resident special lecture “Empathy Concert” ▲resident voting on next year’s Busan health agenda ▲celebratory performances, and more.

As a preliminary side event, a case-sharing workshop titled “Village Health Centers with One Hundred Stories” and a health activity experience fair open to all citizens were also held.

Participants, including officials and citizens attending the Performance Sharing Day event, shared their experiences and cases of village health community activities through the “Village Health Centers with One Hundred Stories” and the health activity experience fair prepared as preliminary side events.

During the main event’s resident special lecture “Empathy Concert,” under the theme “Let’s Cultivate the Power of Care Within Us,” stories were introduced of citizens who overcame COVID-19 blues and diabetic complications through the village health centers, as well as citizens who maintained their lives with the help of neighbors and the village health centers.

This emphasized the necessity of village health centers to protect residents’ health, moving the participating citizens emotionally.

In the subsequent resident voting, next year’s Busan health agendas, proposed through a preliminary survey of about 2,000 Busan citizens, were finalized by on-site voting of about 700 citizens participating in the event. Based on the health agendas decided that day, the 72 village health centers will carry out joint projects next year.

In the final celebratory performance, participants all enjoyed the event in unison, sharing bouquets with citizens who worked hard to create healthy communities throughout the villages, symbolizing a blessing for a path filled with flowers.

Jo Bongsu, Director of the City’s Citizen Health Bureau, said, “Through this Performance Sharing Day event, we were able to share and learn about the various achievements carried out by the 72 village health centers across our city throughout the year, and explore various development plans. We ask for continued interest and support from citizens for the village health centers, and we will also strive to solidly promote the village health center projects next year to contribute to making Busan a happy city that empowers its residents.”
