According to Paju City on May 19, with this selection, the city will be able to establish a foundation that enables seniors who require care to continuously receive integrated care services in their communities.


The "Medical, Nursing, and Care Integrated Support Pilot Project" aims to provide local residents with a variety of welfare services by linking medical, nursing, and care support in response to an aging society. In particular, the project focuses on enabling seniors to maintain a healthy and stable life in their own homes, without having to move to nursing facilities.


Through this project, Paju City will receive tailored consulting, professional training, and support for a remote monitoring system utilizing ICT (Information and Communication Technology) from the planning stage to implementation. In addition, by collaborating with the National Health Insurance Service, the city plans to use big data related to health and nursing care to identify individuals in need of care and establish an integrated case management system.


The city plans to enact relevant ordinances and establish a dedicated organization in the second half of the year, with the full-scale implementation of the project scheduled for 2025. In cooperation with the Paju Public Health Center, the city will also develop an integrated care model tailored to local characteristics. In particular, by linking with the city's existing "Hope Plus+ Care" project, Paju City plans to provide comprehensive care services for citizens in care blind spots, such as single-person households and recently discharged patients.



Kim Kyoungil, Mayor of Paju, said, "Through this project selection, we will do our best to establish a sustainable integrated care system in which various institutions and private resources cooperate, so that citizens in need of care can enjoy a better life in their hometowns and communities."
