Muan-gun, Promotion of Health Specialized Projects at Health Clinics

Improving Community Health Through Various Education Programs Including Cardiovascular Disease Prevention

[Muan=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-kyung] Muan County, Jeollanam-do, is promoting a health specialization project using 11 health clinics established in medically underserved areas from this month until September to improve the health of local residents.

The health specialization project selects distinctive health themes for each health clinic and operates an integrated health education program targeting local residents by inviting internal and external instructors.

The main program contents include ▲ prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases ▲ prevention of depression in the elderly ▲ health gymnastics ▲ cognitive enhancement education, among others.

In addition, the county plans to conduct basic tests and assessment evaluations before and after the program operation to identify high-risk groups and connect them to hospitals or health centers for continuous management.

County Governor Kim San said, “We will do our best to continuously discover and operate new programs for the healthy and happy old age of the elderly to ensure the project is substantial.”
