The Ministry of Health and Welfare comprehensively evaluated 11 indicators across 5 areas including medical aid performance for beneficiaries, medical aid case management, and home medical aid project operation for local governments nationwide, selecting 18 outstanding local government institutions.

The Medical Aid Project is a program in which the government provides medical services such as examination, testing, and treatment for diseases, injuries, childbirth, etc., occurring to citizens who are unable or have difficulty maintaining their livelihood.

Since July, Yeoncheon-gun has been promoting the ‘Home Medical Aid’ project that provides necessary services to help long-term hospitalized patients return to daily life stably. In particular, it has been focusing on case management for excessive medical aid users and conducting rotating education by town and township as well as one-on-one home visits for new medical aid beneficiaries, striving for differentiated case management.

A Yeoncheon-gun official stated, “We will continue to actively manage cases of medical aid beneficiaries and do our best to promote medical aid services so that beneficiaries facing difficulties in life can maintain a healthy life.”
