As a result, it is expected to enhance accessibility to public health medical services for residents in the eastern region (Hwado, Sudong, Hopyeong, Pyeongnae) and provide customized health management services tailored to the local community.

The Eastern Health Office will be organized into 2 divisions and 9 teams, carrying out various tasks such as △ Dementia Safety Center △ Health Promotion Room △ Oral Health △ Infectious Disease Management.

In particular, emphasis was placed on establishing a system capable of efficiently implementing major health policies such as dementia prevention and infectious disease control.

The city plans to carry out remodeling construction from January to June next year to prepare the necessary facilities and equipment for the operation of the health office.

Although some service usage may be limited starting from March next year when the construction intensifies, thorough measures are being prepared to ensure that citizens can use essential health care services without inconvenience.

Jung Tae-sik, Director of Namyangju Health Center, said, “The Eastern Health Office will play a key role in strengthening health care services in the local community,” and added, “We will do our best to provide residents with high-quality health management services.”
