Gwangju Buk-gu Launches Pilot Project for Home Medical Care Benefits
On the 27th, Buk-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City, announced that it has signed a business agreement for the home medical care pilot project and will officially provide integrated home services for medical aid recipients.
This pilot project will be actively promoted from this month after Buk-gu was selected as the target area in June through a public contest for the home medical care pilot project conducted by the Ministry of Health and Welfare targeting local governments nationwide, securing 100 million KRW in funding.
The home medical care pilot project aims to provide integrated home services such as medical care, caregiving, meals, and hospital transportation to medical aid recipients who are currently hospitalized despite having a low need for long-term hospitalization, thereby promoting their stable return to the local community.
To ensure the successful implementation of this project, Buk-gu first signed a business agreement on the 27th with seven service providers, including two cooperating medical institutions. Medical aid managers will establish personalized care plans based on the health status and service needs of the recipients and continue to provide services accordingly.
Selected participants in the project will receive various daily life support services worth approximately 600,000 KRW per person per month, including assistance with household activities and residential environment improvements, as well as benefits from specialized one-on-one mental health counseling services.

A Buk-gu official stated, "We will build an organic cooperative system with the seven service providers who signed the business agreement to strengthen the project aimed at promoting the return of long-term hospitalized medical aid recipients to the community." He added, "We will continue to actively support medical aid recipients who do not require long-term hospitalization to receive necessary services at home rather than in hospital beds, enabling them to live stably, and we will also do our best to improve the efficiency of medical aid finances."
