Uljin County Medical Center Nursing Hospital selected for Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Hanul Nuclear Power Headquarters Business Support Project.

Last September, the center applied for projects in the local welfare sector, including 125 million KRW for recovery support funds for mothers admitted to the public postpartum care center and 193 million KRW for nursing care support funds for patients in long-term care hospitals, and was selected. Since January 2023, it has been supporting nursing care costs for hospitalized patients in long-term care hospitals and programs for mothers admitted to the public postpartum care center.

Additionally, by submitting a proposal for the 2023 Uljin County Comprehensive Health Checkup Support Project for local residents, a total of 926 Uljin residents chose the medical center. This is an increase of over 200 people compared to 734 last year, which is the result of strengthening medical staff dedicated to endoscopy and ultrasound and introducing the latest medical equipment such as endoscopy devices, thereby enhancing the trust of the residents.

The Hanul Headquarters has continuously supported nursing care costs for underprivileged groups as an ongoing project since 2007, steadily providing practical assistance to the household economy of hospitalized patients and approaching as a community-friendly company living together with local residents.

Furthermore, since November 2020, Uljin, a vulnerable area for childbirth, has operated the first public postpartum care center in Gyeongbuk Province. With support from Hanul Headquarters, the center runs urban-level programs, improving user satisfaction and attracting attention to the extent that people from other regions visit Uljin Public Postpartum Care Center for postpartum care.

The postpartum care program consists of specialized classes such as Oketani massage, mother massage, postpartum gymnastics and yoga, and meditation to prevent postpartum depression, which are difficult to experience in Uljin, conducted by professional instructors.

Kim Yong-shin, director of Uljin County Medical Center, said, “We are grateful to Hanul Headquarters for their generous support,” and added, “The medical center will continue to fulfill its responsibilities and do its best in carrying out projects to improve regional medical welfare.”
