[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Sacheon City in Gyeongnam announced on the 19th that it was selected as an excellent institution for the 2022 Health Plus Happiness Plus Project at the Gyeongsangnam-do Health Plus Happiness Plus Project Evaluation Contest.

Gyeongnam Province selected Sacheon City as an excellent institution among 15 regions in the province through a comprehensive evaluation of the Health Plus Happiness Plus Project (status of health center health promotion project inputs and health committee activities, best practices, etc.).

The Health Plus Happiness Plus Project is a resident-led health promotion project that forms health committees in vulnerable areas with continuously high standardized mortality rates to identify and resolve health risk factors.

The city promoted projects to improve health equity in Dongseo Geum-dong, a newly selected project area, receiving high scores in various fields such as health committee activities, local resident participation, and health promotion project input status.

Additionally, health promotion projects targeting marginalized groups conducted in Hyangchon-dong, an existing project area, such as the ‘Ssing Ssing Saeng Saeng Niagara’ health gymnastics and ‘Positive Memories, Please Take Care of Dementia,’ also received positive evaluations.

In particular, health projects and programs tailored to the region, such as village health walks operated by local health committees, capacity-building health education for residents, and healthy lifestyle practice campaigns, also contributed to this award.

A city official stated, “We will continue to actively support and do our best to revitalize health committees and improve the health levels of residents in vulnerable areas.”
