How is the Change Day initiative implemented this year?
By inviting all departments of health institutions, all employees, and service recipients to pledge before 9/19/2022 to provide innovative initiatives and activities outside the framework of their daily recurring work. These pledges guarantee the safety of workers in health institutions who are considered the first line of defense.
