Gwangju City in Gyeonggi Province Establishes Integrated Care Division... Assigns Dedicated Staff to 16 Eup, Myeon and Dong Districts
Health and Care Team Established at Public Health Center
Connecting Healthcare, Long-Term Care and Daily Living Support
Gwangju City in Gyeonggi Province will establish an Integrated Care Division and assign dedicated staff to 16 eup, myeon and dong districts. The city plans to build a neighborhood-based support system so residents who need care can receive healthcare, medical treatment, long-term care and daily living support where they live.
Gwangju City said on the 13th that it had pursued the organizational restructuring to respond to growing demand for care as the country enters a super-aged society. The newly established Integrated Care Division will be responsible for policy planning and overseeing related programs, while the public health center will set up a Health and Care Team to provide support in the medical and public health fields.
Dedicated staff in eup, myeon and dong districts will identify residents who need care and assess their health and living conditions. After consulting with them, the staff will connect them with the services they need and follow up to ensure that support is being provided properly. The city plans to work with the public health center, medical institutions, long-term care facilities and local welfare organizations to provide each resident with the support they need.
