Gwangju Christian Hospital (Director: Lee Seungwook) announced on the 17th that it held a signing ceremony with two organizations, Gwangju Migrant Health Center and Jubilee Medical Mutual Aid Association, to promote the health of foreign workers in medical blind spots.

Through this cooperative support, it is expected that the referral system for medical treatment and financial assistance for foreign workers in the region will help those who are vulnerable to healthcare.

Foreign workers and migrants without health insurance often delay treatment due to the burden of medical expenses, only visiting the hospital when their condition worsens into an emergency, resulting in even higher medical costs.

Representatives from the two organizations said, "With the reduced burden of hospital expenses, we expect that migrants will visit hospitals more frequently, become more interested in their health, and experience an improved quality of life."

A representative from Gwangju Christian Hospital stated, "We will do our best not only to provide medical fee benefits to foreigners registered with the two organizations but also to ensure effective treatment of their illnesses."
