At the event, Lee Chang-hoon, Deputy Head of Gyeongnam Nonghyup, and Park Seong-gi, Chairman of Yeongsan Nonghyup, attended, and medical staff from Changwon Himchan Hospital provided Western medical treatments including spine and joint disease health consultations, blood pressure and diabetes checks, and physical therapy. In addition, Spring Optical provided personalized magnifiers after individual eye examinations.

Deputy Head Lee said, “We are glad to be able to provide medical services again this year, which were suspended due to COVID-19, bringing vitality to the depressed rural areas and offering some support to the elderly farmers. Gyeongnam Nonghyup will continue to pay close attention to ensuring the healthy and happy later years of farmers.”

Chairman Park said, “We are pleased that an opportunity has been created for farmers in welfare blind spots to receive high-quality services. We will continue to do our best so that farmers can live healthy and happy lives.”
