This allows us to offer professional medical services to residents.” He added, “All staff at the medical center will do their utmost to provide the best medical services.”

Nam Han-kwon, the county governor, said, “Until now, residents received professional orthopedic care, but with the contract expiration, we almost had to rely again on mainland hospitals.
