Hwasun County Named "Outstanding Institution" in Gwangju-Jeonnam National Cancer Management Project Evaluation

Received the Encouragement Award in the Home-Based Cancer Patient Management Category

South Jeolla Province's Hwasun County announced on December 8 that it was selected as an outstanding institution and received the Encouragement Award in the home-based cancer patient management category at the "2025 Gwangju-Jeonnam Cancer Management Project Evaluation Conference" recently held at Chonnam National University Hwasun Hospital.

This evaluation targeted 27 cities, counties, and districts in Gwangju and South Jeolla Province. The first round of document screening was based on business plans and implementation results in four areas: cancer prevention projects, national cancer screening projects, cancer patient medical expense support projects, and home-based cancer patient management projects. In the second round, on-site evaluation and awards were conducted through case presentations by six institutions selected for their best practices.

The county developed its business plan based on local cancer-related statistics and data from the National Cancer Information Center, reflecting regional characteristics to carry out its home-based cancer patient management project. The county received high marks for its proactive work in managing home-based cancer patients, including operating self-help group programs in collaboration with the public health center and external organizations.

Park Mira, Director of the Public Health Center, said, "The county is deeply committed to cancer management, as evidenced by our awards in this field both last year and this year. We will do our utmost to improve the quality of life for home-based cancer patients by operating various programs, such as the self-help groups that received positive feedback this year."
