GH to Launch Medical Welfare Social Contribution Project... Agreement with Bundang Seoul National University Hospital and Others

Gyeonggi Housing and Urban Corporation (GH) is launching a community-linked medical welfare project.

On the 24th, GH announced that it signed a business agreement for the 'Community-Linked Medical Welfare Social Contribution Project' at its headquarters in Gwanggyo, Suwon, with the Bundang Seoul National University Hospital consortium and the Ansan City (Korea University Ansan Hospital) consortium.

The Bundang Seoul National University consortium proposed medical support for critically ill patients in Gyeonggi Province and a housing remodeling program for elderly and disabled patients called the 'Home Project,' receiving high evaluations for the project's originality and sustainability.

The Ansan City consortium proposed solutions to address medical blind spots, including AI (Artificial Intelligence) and IoT (Internet of Things)-based remote medical services for residents in medically underserved areas such as islands, and medical education for multicultural youth.

In particular, Ansan City was selected as a winning bidder due to its high level of commitment to the community-linked medical welfare project, including an additional 200 million KRW in self-funded subsidies beyond the project budget.

According to the agreement, GH will provide a total of 400 million KRW in project funds next year, 200 million KRW each to the consortia, and will continuously evaluate the outcomes to consider additional support for outstanding consortia.

The partner organizations will implement various medical welfare programs such as home-visit medical services for local residents, emergency medical expense support for vulnerable groups, and housing remodeling for severely ill patients with mobility difficulties.

Lee Jong-seon, Head of the Opportunity Economy Division at GH, stated, "We will strengthen social contribution projects linked with the community to eliminate medical blind spots in Gyeonggi Province and improve medical welfare for residents."
