The health center announced on the 30th that it signed a business agreement with the Childcare Support Center on the 28th, aiming to establish a foundation for providing integrated health services that link healthcare and childcare.

This agreement was established to practically implement a variety of health promotion programs, including health projects specialized for infants, young children, women, and children.

The two organizations agreed to cooperate on health projects for infants, young children, and families; share information; jointly promote projects; connect resources; and pursue other joint health-related initiatives.

In particular, the health center plans to expand health services that residents can directly experience by organically linking with programs such as expectant parent meetings held at the Childcare Support Center.

An official from Gijang-gun Health Center stated, "We hope this agreement will contribute to creating a healthy and safe environment for childrearing," and added, "We will continue to develop this as a cooperative model for promoting the health of infants and young children in the local community."
