Publication of the Gwangju Dong-gu "What Does the Health Center Do?" Guidebook

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Dong-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (Mayor Im Taek) announced on the 12th that it has published a booklet to guide residents on health projects and integrated health promotion projects.

The booklet titled "What Does Dong-gu Health Center Do?" was created to help residents easily understand the integrated health promotion projects provided by the health center, tailored to life cycle and disease-specific characteristics.

The integrated health promotion projects consist of 13 programs including ▲physical activity ▲nutrition ▲obesity ▲cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases ▲oral health ▲smoking cessation ▲dementia management.

These projects reflect the characteristics of each region and the needs of residents, and the services and detailed programs provided by each local health center differ.

Accordingly, Dong-gu summarized and organized the integrated health promotion services and programs available at Dong-gu Health Center to ensure that no residents miss out on benefits due to lack of awareness.

The booklet clearly categorizes and organizes the health center’s main tasks, including ▲healthcare services ▲life cycle health management services ▲civil service, allowing residents to grasp various services at a glance.

Dong-gu plans to actively utilize the booklet by distributing it directly to related organizations and linking a QR code on the cover to allow access via the health center’s website.

Mayor Im Taek of Dong-gu said, “The health center is carrying out various public health projects to promote public health and residents’ health in the region,” adding, “I hope that with the publication of this booklet, the health center will establish itself as the public medical institution closest to the residents.”
