Changwon Health Center Strengthens Management of Chronic Disease Complications
Support for Eye Disease Screening in Patients with Diabetes and Hypertension
Changwon Health Center in Changwon Special City, Gyeongnam, is conducting a support project this year for eye disease screening for patients with diabetes and hypertension.
Complications of eye diseases caused by chronic illnesses have a high risk of leading to blindness if diagnosis and treatment are delayed, but since there are no subjective symptoms, early detection through eye disease screening is the only best measure.
Accordingly, Changwon Health Center is supporting the issuance of ‘Eye Disease Screening Coupons for Diabetes and Hypertension Patients’ through agreements with specialized medical institutions in the jurisdiction (Uichang-gu, Seongsan-gu) to enable screening.
Information on participation methods and specialized medical institutions can be obtained by phone at the Chronic Disease Counseling Office of Changwon Health Center.
