KMI Korea Medical Institute Supports Health Checkups for Multicultural Families with Busan City
Free Health Checkup Support for 8 Years Since 2015
[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-joo] KMI Korea Medical Institute announced on the 31st that it will carry out a social contribution project in cooperation with Busan City to provide free health checkups to multicultural families in the local community.
The support targets 100 multicultural families who have not been able to receive health checkups due to economic difficulties. Since 2015, KMI has been supporting health checkups for multicultural families in the local community together with Busan City.
In addition to the national health checkup items, KMI will provide free tests for additional examination items that incur extra costs (500,000 KRW per person, totaling approximately 50 million KRW) to help multicultural families maintain their health and prevent diseases.
Yoon Sun-hee, director of the KMI Social Contribution Committee, said, "I am proud to contribute to improving the quality of life of multicultural families in the region again this year in cooperation with Busan City," and added, "We will continue to do our best to promote health and improve medical welfare for vulnerable groups in our society."
