Gwangju Baegun Nursing Hospital Delivers Support Funds for Seo-gu Disabled Bathing Project

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gwangju Baegun Nursing Hospital (Director Kim Jinwoo) donated 10 million won in sponsorship funds for the Disabled Bathing Service Support Project in Seo-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City through the Gwangju Community Chest of Korea.

According to Seo-gu on the 5th, the donation ceremony was attended by hospital officials including Kim Jinwoo, representative director of Baegun Nursing Hospital, Lee Seongdo, secretary general of the Gwangju Community Chest of Korea,

and Lee Daeman, director of Seo-gu Disabled Welfare Center.

The disabled bathing service project carried out by Seo-gu Disabled Welfare Center under the name "Refreshing Bathing Bboddeuk" was prepared for the physical and emotional health and recovery of people with disabilities.

This project, which prioritizes people with severe disabilities among national basic livelihood security recipients and lower-income groups registered in Seo-gu, is scheduled to be fully launched from May after a preparation period until April.

The bathing service will be conducted twice a month, with participants transported by the welfare center bus to a bathhouse where safety personnel are assigned, and assisted by volunteers. A simple health checkup will also be conducted before using the service.

The district expects that this bathing service will contribute to relieving stress through physical health recovery and emotional support by enabling hygienic and healthy living for people with disabilities.

A Seo-gu official said, "Many people face hygiene issues due to difficulties in bathing caused by physical and economic disabilities." He added, "We will strive to operate the project solidly so that more people can benefit."

Meanwhile, Baegun Nursing Hospital has been spreading a warm culture of sharing by sponsoring the 70th birthday party for elderly living alone, promoted annually since 2017 by the Seo-gu Community Security Council and Seo-gu Senior Comprehensive Social Welfare Center.
