[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Young-won] Seoul National University Hospital announced on the 26th that it conducted sharing activities to help vulnerable groups endure the summer heatwave.

On the 20th, Seoul National University Hospital delivered 250 first aid kits each to 'Wongaksa Senior Free Meal Center' in Jongno-gu, Seoul, and 'Deungdae Church' in Changsin-dong.

After delivering the first aid kits, meal service volunteering was carried out at Wongaksa Senior Free Meal Center. Despite the hot weather, faculty and staff took charge of serving lunch and washing dishes, providing a heartfelt meal to the elderly who visited the meal center.

Since starting the 'Love Sharing Winter Necessities Delivery Ceremony' in 2014, Seoul National University Hospital has continued sharing activities for vulnerable groups using social contribution funds for nine years.

Hospital Director Kim Yeon-su said, "This is a time when special attention to the health of vulnerable groups is necessary due to the ongoing heatwave and the resurgence of COVID-19," adding, "Seoul National University Hospital will contribute to creating a healthy Republic of Korea through public health medical activities and social contribution efforts."
