In Uiryeong-gun, the elderly population aged 65 and over accounts for more than 40% of the total population, and despite having degenerative arthritis and other geriatric diseases, there has been a lack of specialized medical institutions, causing significant inconvenience in receiving treatment or surgery.

Uiryeong-gun has continuously sought ways for residents to easily and conveniently enjoy professional medical services, achieving a second business agreement with a hospital following Jinju Lee Sung-soo Eye Clinic.

In this agreement, both parties plan to cooperate in various fields including △ establishing a one-stop service hotline for medical appointment reservations (convenience in booking) △ providing high-quality medical care and the best services to Uiryeong residents △ prioritizing post-treatment and rehabilitation care services △ supporting regular health consultations, health lectures, and advisory services for residents.

When Uiryeong residents visit the hospital, they can receive benefits by bringing an ID card that verifies their residency in Uiryeong-gun.

CEO Koo Ja-kyung said, “My connection with Uiryeong began 26 years ago when I worked as a public health doctor in Uiryeong,” and added, “Since I am well aware of the local circumstances, I will actively participate in necessary support and preventive activities through this agreement.”

Governor Oh Tae-wan said, “We will continue to seek experts in various fields such as health, medical care, and economy to improve the quality of life of our residents.”
