NHIS awarded Presidential Citation in '2023 Proposal Activation Excellence Institution' Evaluation

The National Health Insurance Service announced on the 27th that it was the only public institution to receive the Presidential Citation in the '2023 Proposal Activation Excellence Institution' evaluation hosted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety.

Every year, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety evaluates central administrative agencies, local governments, and city/provincial offices of education based on their proposal operation performance and efforts to activate proposals, selecting and awarding outstanding institutions. Starting this year, the scope of participants expanded to include public institutions, with the Service being included for the first time.

In the evaluation, the Service was recognized for strengthening communication through a systematic operation system, including the establishment of a dedicated organization to solidify the proposal system, operation of a specialized field monitoring team for gathering opinions, and operation of a national jury for selecting excellent proposals.

In particular, it received high evaluations for institutional improvements such as creating a healthy nurturing environment for future generations of infants and young children, and alleviating the national burden through the digitization of applications for catastrophic medical expense support.

Jung Ki-seok, the Service’s Director, said, "This award is thanks to the great interest of the public and employees and their active participation in the proposal system."
