[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] The Busan-Gyeongnam Regional Headquarters of the National Health Insurance Service (Head: Jang Su-mok) held a social contribution fund delivery ceremony at Saha District Office in Busan (District Chief: Kim Tae-seok) on the 14th.

The name of the social contribution project conducted by the Service is "Hello, Elderly!"

This project is an activity to prevent solitary deaths of elderly living alone, where employees of the Busan-Gyeongnam Regional Headquarters of the National Health Insurance Service and the Busan Saha Branch, together with employees of Korea Yakult, deliver health drinks to the homes of high-risk elderly who have difficulty with daily life and check their health.

The purpose is to check the condition of elderly living alone and to guide them in applying for the Long-term Care Insurance for the Elderly, thereby establishing a safety net in the local community.

The 10 million won fund delivered on this day is planned to be used to confirm care for about 150 elderly people living alone in Saha District.

Head Jang Su-mok said, "I hope this support project will help with elderly care and the application for Long-term Care Insurance for the Elderly, and we will continue to fulfill our social responsibility as a public institution by strengthening service provision to the elderly in connection with long-term care insurance."
