초록

Healthcare disparities that occur depending on where an individual lives cause health inequities which is an important task that the government must solve to guarantee the people's right to health. In this study, three main aspects were proposed to address regional healthcare disparities; strengthening public health care, establishing a system for citizen participation in the process of establishing the community health plan, and utilizing the primary health care post. To address the urgent issue of medical gaps or vulnerability in essential medical services, practical alternatives were suggested by enhancing public health care and efficiently utilizing private medical resources. The use of surveys in the planning stages of regional health projects to gather resident opinions has limitations in capturing diverse and in-depth perspectives. Therefore, it is proposed to institutionalize resident participation to establish a foundation for applying varied opinions throughout the entire process of the community health plan. Lastly, to improve medical service accessibility for residents in medically vulnerable areas, it is recommended to expand and enhance the quantity and quality of the primary health care post. It is anticipated that these measures will alleviate health inequities caused by regional healthcare disparities and ultimately enhance the overall health of the population.
