The regional health care plan is the highest-level plan in the health care sector, presenting mid- to long-term goals and implementation strategies tailored to the characteristics of each region to promote the health of local residents. Each local government is required to establish a regional health care plan every four years to efficiently carry out local health projects, and to prepare annual plans each year.

Yangyang County is pursuing the 8th Regional Health Care Plan (2023-2026) under the vision of "Yangyang, a premium city enjoyed by all," by setting three major strategies: strengthening the community's capacity to respond to infectious diseases and enhancing health care capabilities; establishing a region-based health promotion system; and improving quality of life through multi-sectoral cooperation within the region.

In this evaluation, Yangyang County received high marks for demonstrating systematic and thorough results in the implementation of the second year (2024) and the planning process for the third year (2025). The county was particularly recognized for its flexible management of resources such as personnel, budget, and organization, which enhanced practical execution toward achieving its goals.

The head of Yangyang County Health Center stated, "We will continue to pursue systematic and robust regional health care plans to build a healthier and happier Yangyang County."
