In particular, they have actively promoted the establishment of Jeonnam Medical School, introduced the regional public nurse system to secure vulnerable public nursing personnel, and secured related budgets.

Additionally, in collaboration with the Education Committee, they formed the 'Child and Youth Policy Council' to reduce departmental barriers and establish a cooperative system among related departments. In April, they also formed a joint council with the Gwangju Metropolitan Council's Environment and Welfare Committee to improve the water quality of the Yeongsan River.

Chairman Choi Seon-guk stated, “At the turning point of the first half, we look back on the past year and will move forward focusing solely on the residents. To respond swiftly and flexibly to the demands of the residents, we will frequently review current issues in the health, welfare, and environment sectors and carry out field-centered legislative activities.”
