[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] On the 14th, the Hampyeong-gun Public Health Center in Jeollanam-do announced that it has distributed 5,000 free colon cancer screening containers (stool collection containers).


To improve the colon cancer screening rate, these were freely provided at local apartments, senior centers, and town and township health clinics.


Colon cancer screening is conducted once a year for men and women aged 50 and above.



If abnormalities such as blood in the stool are found in the first fecal occult blood test, the cost of a colonoscopy can be supported.
