This agreement aims to support individuals with limited access to medical care so that they can receive treatment at home. Through the pilot project, the county plans to strengthen local medical accessibility.

The visiting medical service will be operated by having medical professionals visit the homes of eligible individuals to check their health status and provide treatment. The agreement involves Modeu Clinic of the Yangpyeong Medical Welfare Social Cooperative and Cheongun Korean Medicine Clinic, both of which are expected to contribute to improving medical welfare in the region.

The program targets county residents who require medical treatment due to illness or injury but have difficulty moving.

The out-of-pocket expenses incurred during home visits (ranging from 5% to 30%) will be subsidized according to income level, with support available up to a maximum of 1.5 million KRW per person, for up to two visits per month within a 60-day period.

The "Anyone Care Project" is part of an integrated care policy jointly promoted by Gyeonggi Province and 29 cities and counties in the province. Since 2024, Yangpyeong County has participated in this project, operating services in a total of five areas: daily living care, companion care, housing safety, meal support, and temporary support. This visiting medical service marks the first pilot introduction in the field of medical care, making it especially significant.

Jin Jinseon, Governor of Yangpyeong County, stated, "The most important thing in this pilot project is public-private cooperation to ensure that those who have difficulty accessing medical services are not left behind," adding, "We will continue to carefully monitor and actively support all residents so that everyone can enjoy a healthy and happy life."
