Sancheong-gun Receives Excellence Award from Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency
Contribution to Collaborative Management of Tick-borne Infectious Diseases
Prevention Activities by 7 Research Groups Including Saenghwal Gaeseonhoe
[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] The Agricultural Technology Center of Sancheong-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 22nd that it was selected as an excellent collaborative institution in this year's 'Tick-borne Infectious Disease Prevention Management Project Evaluation' hosted by the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency.
Since 2019, the Sancheong-gun Agricultural Center has been striving to promote education and publicity targeting farmers to prevent tick-borne infectious diseases.
In particular, it has promoted education to institutionalize tick prevention activities such as ▲ management guidelines for preventing tick-borne infectious diseases during outdoor farm work ▲ related disease publicity ▲ methods of wearing work clothes for about 350 members of the Life Improvement Association and 7 rural resource subcommittee research groups.
This year, to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the education was converted to online, with about 180 Life Improvement Association members from each eup and myeon participating in education twice a week.
The online education was greatly supported by fostering Life Improvement Association county executives and rural resource item research group executives as tick prevention education instructors with the help of Sancheong-gun Health and Medical Center.
The education content included tick-borne infectious disease prevention education, immunity-enhancing Life Improvement Association exercises, and methods for recycling ice packs to practice carbon neutrality technology.
In particular, the county Agricultural Center worked hard to create a safe farming environment for local farmers by producing and distributing videos guiding how to participate in online classes to enhance the continuity of education.
