[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] “Hello, Elderly?” This greeting is part of a project that delivers health drinks to the elderly while checking on their safety.

The National Health Insurance Service Busan-Gyeongnam Regional Headquarters (Director Jang Su-mok) held a social contribution fund donation ceremony on the 20th at Buk-gu Office in Busan (Mayor Jeong Myeong-hee) to support the “Hello, Elderly” project.

On this day, the NHIS Busan-Gyeongnam Regional Headquarters generously donated 10 million won. The funds will be used for elderly people living alone in Buk-gu.

This project aims to prevent solitary deaths among elderly living alone amid population aging at the community level, and the NHIS Busan-Gyeongnam Regional Headquarters has been sponsoring the project since last year.

In the future, the project plans to expand its scale and scope to serve as a community safety net by guiding high-risk elderly groups to apply for long-term care insurance for the elderly.

Director Jang Su-mok said, “We will contribute to alleviating the isolation of elderly people whose outdoor activities have been restricted due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, ensuring their safety to prevent solitary deaths and promote community welfare.”
