The Disabled Health and Welfare Management Project Excellence Case Contest was held to discover excellent cases from 256 health centers nationwide in cities, counties, and districts, as well as regional rehabilitation hospitals and other institutions carrying out disabled health projects, and to improve the qualitative level of the project through information exchange among executing institutions.


In this contest, Buk-gu submitted the case titled 'Spreading the Wings of Our Local CBR (Community-Based Rehabilitation Project)' and was the only district in Gwangju to receive the Excellence Award.


Buk-gu’s disabled health and welfare management case received high marks for not only managing the overall health of disabled persons but also for the achievements of educational programs aimed at improving disability awareness among non-disabled people, and for significantly enhancing access to rehabilitation programs for disabled persons by linking various local medical rehabilitation facilities and human resources.


Additionally, the 'Beauty Healing Program' for emotional healing from depression caused by disability, and the 'Integrated Health Management Day Program,' which managed the health of not only disabled persons but also their caregivers, were highly praised as exemplary cases that greatly contributed to the social reintegration of disabled persons through community disability care.



A Buk-gu official said, "This selection as an excellent institution is the result of the efforts of staff and related personnel working on the front lines to ensure that disabled persons can receive a wider range of health management services. We will continue to organically cooperate with institutions related to disabled persons and steadily expand integrated health services for the disabled needed in the local community."
