Yongin City Supports Medical Costs for Atopic Dermatitis and Asthma in Vulnerable Groups

Yongin City announced on the 20th that it is providing medical cost and moisturizer support for vulnerable children suffering from atopic dermatitis and asthma.

The Atopic Dermatitis and Asthma Prevention and Management Center, located at the Suji-gu Public Health Center, has been implementing integrated health promotion projects this year, including the 'Atopic Dermatitis and Asthma Relief School' and 'Health Teacher Education for Establishing Emergency Systems for Allergic Diseases,' which have received positive responses.

Additionally, nurses at the center provide constant counseling on atopic dermatitis and asthma conditions, and support is being provided so that school health teachers and parents can continuously manage confirmed cases and patients registered at the center.

The medical cost support targets residents aged 17 or younger in Yongin City registered at the Atopic Dermatitis and Asthma Prevention and Management Center who have been diagnosed with atopic dermatitis (L20) or asthma (J45-46) and who are included in the categories of basic livelihood security recipients, children with disabilities, single-parent households, multicultural families, and families in the Infinite Care Project.
