Bucheon City in Gyeonggi Province announced on the 29th that it has signed a business agreement with Hansarang Family Clinic for 'Integrated Health Care Medical Institution Home Nursing.'
The agreement was established to efficiently provide home nursing services tailored to the needs of elderly individuals with mobility difficulties in preparation for a super-aged society.

The agreement entails connecting elderly individuals aged 65 and over who require home nursing but have difficulty receiving long-term care home medical benefits?specifically those without recognized long-term care grades and those awaiting long-term care grade assessment?to specialized home nursing at Hansarang Family Clinic, with support for their out-of-pocket expenses.
This is expected to eliminate blind spots in home nursing and reduce financial burdens.
Jo Yong-ik, Mayor of Bucheon City, stated, "Through the Integrated Health Care Center, we will discover private health care resources and establish a public-private cooperative system for integrated health care." He added, "Through this, we will strive to support more professional and high-quality home health care services to ensure a healthy and secure old age for our elderly citizens."
