Gwangju Gwangsan-gu Health Center Moves to Hanam 3 District... Starts Operations on the 8th

The Gwangsan-gu Public Health Center in Gwangju Metropolitan City will complete its relocation to a new home in Hanam 3 District on the 8th and provide high-quality health care services.

According to Gwangsan-gu on the 1st, the newly constructed health center to be established in the Hanam 3 District resident complex facility has a total floor area of 4,586㎡ and is built with one basement floor and three above-ground floors.

The first floor will have examination rooms for diagnosis and treatment, a vaccination room, a Korean medicine treatment room, a physical therapy room, and a health community space where citizens can measure and manage obesity, blood pressure, and more by themselves. The second floor is equipped with a radiology room, clinical pathology room, lung health management room, smoking cessation clinic, and a large conference room.

Three departments of Gwangsan-gu?the Health Administration Division, Infectious Disease Control Division, and Health Promotion Division?will move to the new Hanam 3 District office building, while the screening clinic will continue to operate at the existing Gwangsan-gu Office plaza to prevent citizen confusion and reduce relocation costs.

As the health center relocates to a new office building with a pleasant environment, Gwangsan-gu plans to provide citizens with high-quality health care services.

Additionally, to avoid any service gaps during the relocation, a temporary office called ‘Songjeong Health Branch’ will be set up across from Gwangsan-gu Office to minimize inconvenience for residents in the Songjeong area.

Songjeong Health Branch will provide basic medical services such as diagnosis, chronic disease management programs, blood pressure and blood sugar measurement, and resident health support services. After the remodeling is completed following the health center’s relocation, it is scheduled to officially open at the current health center site in September.

Park Byung-gyu, head of Gwangsan-gu Office, said, “Taking this opportunity of relocating the health center to a new office building, we will provide diverse and advanced services such as resident-centered health promotion projects,” adding, “We will do our best to establish and operate a public medical system that is closer to the citizens.”
