First, for seniors aged 70 and over, hospital accompaniment and medication delivery services will be introduced. The county itself will operate a vehicle support system, ensuring that seniors in remote villages with limited transportation can safely access hospital care.
Additionally, to reduce the risk of missed meals during the busy farming season or in daily life, the county will expand community meal assistant programs, increase support for bathing expenses for seniors, and broaden the operation of mobile laundries that circulate through towns and villages. These policies aim to alleviate daily inconveniences faced by the elderly. The plan also includes the development of a "Sancheong-type Medical Welfare System" to address insufficient medical infrastructure.
To address gaps in nighttime medical care, candidate Yoo announced the establishment of a nighttime emergency consultation service and the strengthening of cooperative systems with major hospitals in the Jinju area to ensure rapid treatment in emergencies.
Furthermore, to support seniors living alone and prevent solitary deaths, he proposed the introduction of an AI-based health management call service, aiming to build a 24-hour health safety net.
