Business Agreement with Myeonghan Clinic... Visiting Medical Services for Vulnerable Groups

On the 15th, Hwaseong City in Gyeonggi Province announced on the 16th that it had signed a business agreement with Myeonghan Clinic for the 'Our Neighborhood Korean Medicine Primary Care Physician Project.'

The 'Our Neighborhood Korean Medicine Primary Care Physician Project' is a pledge project of the 8th local government administration, providing visiting Korean medicine medical services to medically vulnerable groups who have difficulty visiting medical institutions due to mobility issues. The city has been providing visiting Korean medicine medical services since 2022, and due to high citizen satisfaction, it is expanding the operation.

Attendees at the agreement ceremony included Kim Yeon-hee, Director of Hwaseong City East Public Health Center, Yoon Tak-hyun, Director of Myeonghan Clinic, and visiting dedicated nurses.

With this agreement, the city plans to operate visiting Korean medicine medical services for 450 medically vulnerable individuals from March to the end of November. A team consisting of a cooperating institution's Korean medicine doctor and a public health center visiting nurse will visit homes directly to provide free customized visiting medical services such as examination, acupuncture treatment, basic health measurements, medication guidance, and health education.

Kim Yeon-hee, Director of Hwaseong City East Public Health Center, stated, "By providing high-quality health and medical services through collaboration with local medical institutions, we will strengthen medical accessibility for medically vulnerable groups and reduce their economic burden."
