Medical staff and employees from Gangnam and Gwangju Jasaeng Korean Medicine Hospitals participated in the volunteer service that day. The volunteer group set up a temporary clinic at Mahan Nonghyup in Bannam-myeon and provided traditional Korean medical services such as medical examinations, health consultations, acupuncture treatment, and herbal patches.

Jasaeng Medical Foundation continues to provide traditional Korean medical volunteer services by visiting rural farming and fishing areas nationwide through Jasaeng Korean Medicine Hospitals and Clinics to prevent the worsening of musculoskeletal disorders among farmers.

Director Park Byung-mo said, "Due to the nature of farming work, farmers often suffer from various musculoskeletal disorders because they perform repetitive movements for long hours without changing posture," adding, "We will continue to make efforts so that farmers can have a healthy bountiful harvest this year as well."

Meanwhile, this traditional Korean medicine volunteer service was conducted as part of the 'Farmer Happiness Bus,' jointly organized with Nonghyup. Since 2013, Jasaeng Medical Foundation has been providing medical services to farmers by visiting medically underserved areas nationwide in cooperation with Nonghyup.
