"For the Life and Health Rights of Residents"... Commitment to Continue Ambassador Activities

Mokpo Senior Welfare Center issued a statement urging the establishment of a medical school at National Mokpo University in response to Jeonnam Province's ongoing public contest to attract a medical school to the Jeonnam region.

Eighty-four workers from Mokpo Senior Welfare Center gathered in one place and emphasized, "A medical school must be immediately established at National Mokpo University to secure the health rights of residents in the western Jeonnam area, which has a high elderly population ratio and is medically underserved," and stressed, "A medical school should be established at National Mokpo University, whose feasibility has been sufficiently proven."

Through the statement, they emphasized, "To protect the life and health rights of the elderly and residents, who suffer from inadequate medical care due to poor medical environments and vulnerability in securing the golden time for emergency patients, a medical school must be attracted to the well-prepared National Mokpo University."

Kim Seong-il, director of Mokpo Senior Welfare Center, said, "I hope that the Governor of Jeollanam-do, the Mayor of Mokpo, and other related officials will make every effort to ensure the immediate establishment of the medical school to fulfill the long-cherished wish of the elderly and local residents for the medical school attraction, a project that has been awaited for 34 years."

The workers of Mokpo Senior Welfare Center plan to steadfastly continue their ambassador activities to promote the attraction of the medical school at National Mokpo University, a long-standing wish of the southwestern region.
