KMI Korea Medical Institute Supports Winter Relief for Vulnerable Groups in Jongno-gu

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-ju] KMI Korea Medical Institute announced on the 23rd that it will carry out a social contribution project in cooperation with Jongno-gu, Seoul, to support low-income households in the district to have a healthy and safe winter.

The KMI Social Contribution Committee explained that most home appliances in low-income households are very outdated, increasing the risk of gas leaks and fires, and that support for items to ensure a healthy winter during the cold season is necessary, which led to their sponsorship.

KMI's sponsorship fund of 30 million KRW will be used to replace outdated small home appliances (gas stoves, microwaves, etc.) in low-income households to proactively prevent safety accidents, and to provide 'Cold Weather and Disease Prevention Kits (gloves, oversocks, COVID-19 prevention supplies, etc.).'

The support targets include single-parent families, basic livelihood security recipients, near-poverty class, and Seoul-type basic security households, with a total of 180 households selected by the Jongno District Office.

Kim Soon-yi, Honorary Director of KMI, said, “We have joined forces with Jongno-gu again this year following the 2019 'Let's Make Tomorrow Together' sponsorship project, the 2020 support projects for healthy food for low-income families and health checkups for vulnerable groups, and the 2021 AI care service sponsorship project for vulnerable groups. We will do our best to provide practical help to neighbors in need through social contributions that have both sincerity and sustainability.”

KMI Korea Medical Institute, established in 1985 as a health screening institution, currently operates health screening centers in seven locations nationwide: three in Seoul (Gwanghwamun, Yeouido, Gangnam) and four regional centers (Suwon, Daegu, Busan, Gwangju). In addition to activities for early detection and prevention of diseases and promotion of public health, it carries out various social contribution projects.
