[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] The Gyeongsangnam-do Social Service Institute held a forum on the 18th under the theme "Emergency Gap Care and Social Service Institute."

The forum was a policy discussion meeting held to share experiences and success cases of emergency gap care after COVID-19 and to explore directions for the development of social services.

The forum consisted of a presentation of in-depth interview survey results with care service providers and service users by Park Haegung, chief researcher at the Social Service Institute, a case presentation by Kim Ikjung, director of the Gyeongsangnam-do Community Care Center, and expert discussions.

Additionally, field experts and provincial council members attended to exchange various opinions related to emergency gap care.
