The Cement Industry Social Contribution Foundation announced on the 24th that it will provide the Danyang County Health Medical Center in Chungbuk, which will open on the 1st of next month, with the latest medical equipment worth 650 million won. The foundation was established by seven major domestic cement companies: Sampyo, Ssangyong, Hanil, Hanil Hyundai, Asia, Sungshin, and Halla.

A foundation official stated, “Danyang County is a region experiencing population decline and was designated as a medically underserved area in emergency medical services after the closure of the region’s representative medical institution, ‘Danyang Seoul Hospital,’ in 2015, indicating severe medical accessibility issues. Considering this, the Danyang Regional Fund Management Committee, which manages donations supported by Hanil Cement, Hanil Hyundai Cement, and Sungshin Cement within Danyang, decided to prioritize the provision of medical equipment in line with the opening of the Danyang County Health Medical Center.”

The supported equipment was selected with priority given to endoscopes, ultrasound devices, and retinal glaucoma examination devices, taking into account the age, gender, and health history of residents around the factory area.

Kim Moon-geun, the mayor of Danyang County, said, “We will actively utilize the donated advanced medical equipment to promote the health of Danyang residents and fully support the successful operation of the Danyang County Health Medical Center.”
