Gyeonggi Province has succeeded in attracting the Ministry of Environment's 'Regional Environmental Health Center.'


The Regional Environmental Health Center is a specialized institution led by environmental health professionals that supports local governments in establishing environmental health policies. There are 11 such centers nationwide, and this is the first time for Gyeonggi Province to host one.


The main tasks include ▲ establishing regional environmental health monitoring systems such as health monitoring in environmentally vulnerable areas ▲ supporting the establishment of regional environmental health plans and building environmental health big data to strengthen local environmental health systems ▲ creating communication systems such as environmental health camps for local residents on environmental health issues ▲ and cooperating with major investigation and research projects of the Ministry of Environment.


Gyeonggi Province, as the largest metropolitan local government where industry and daily life coexist, has actively proposed to the Ministry of Environment the expansion of the 'Regional Environmental Health Centers,' currently operating in 11 locations, as projects related to the living environment and environmental health of residents are essential. Through continuous efforts and close cooperation, it succeeded in attracting a Regional Environmental Health Center to the province.


The Ministry of Environment will designate the new Environmental Health Center around March after a selection evaluation in February following the announcement of the new center designation.



Cha Seong-su, Director of the Climate, Environment, and Energy Bureau of Gyeonggi Province, emphasized, "We will make the attraction of the Regional Environmental Health Center the cornerstone of Gyeonggi Province's environmental health policy, develop customized environmental health projects for the province, and expand environmental health services for residents."
