Seo-gu's public health center nurses, smoking cessation counselors, exercise prescribers, and fitness assessors visited the market directly to conduct basic health checks (blood pressure, blood sugar), register and manage smoking cessation clinics, perform bone density and body composition tests, and provide one-on-one health consultations. This program is planned to be held once every two months.

One merchant who received the health management services said, "In the busy daily life, it is not easy to measure blood pressure and blood sugar, so the visiting service is very beneficial."

A Seo-gu official stated, "We hope this opportunity will serve as a chance for Yangdong Market merchants and residents to take care of their own health," adding, "We hope Yangdong Market will become even more vibrant in the future."
