Jasaeng Medical Foundation Provides Heatwave Supplies to Elderly Living Alone

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-joo] Jaseng Medical Foundation announced on the 16th that it will provide summer heatwave supplies for elderly people living alone who are in welfare blind spots.

Jaseng Medical Foundation, in cooperation with 12 Jaseng Korean Medicine Hospitals nationwide, will tour the country throughout this month to donate a total of 360 summer bedding sets to elderly people living alone in various regions. Additionally, 50 households exposed to heatwave risks will be selected for cleaning volunteer services to improve their living environments.

On the 28th of last month, Cheongju Jaseng Korean Medicine Hospital, together with the Cheongju Jaseng Volunteer Group, donated 30 summer bedding sets and 30 companion plants to the Cheongju City Integrated Support Center for Elderly Living Alone to help alleviate their loneliness.

Also, on the 3rd of this month, Jaseng Korean Medicine Hospital visited Gangnam District Office to participate in the summer heatwave supplies support. In particular, support was provided not only to elderly people living alone in the area but also to one household of Koryoin who entered Korea due to the aftermath of the Ukraine war.

Jaseng Medical Foundation plans to continue nationwide donation activities of bedding sets and other summer heatwave supplies together with Daejeon, Mokdong, Bundang, Ansan, Ulsan, and Changwon Jaseng Korean Medicine Hospitals.

Park Byung-mo, director of Jaseng Medical Foundation, said, “We hope that this nationwide donation activity will help elderly people living alone who are struggling with the early heatwave manage their health,” and added, “Jaseng Medical Foundation will continue to identify welfare blind spots during this summer, when scorching heat is expected, and become a medical institution that extends helping hands.”
