Incheon Signs Medical Support Agreement for National Veterans with Two General Hospitals

On June 25, the city of Incheon signed an agreement with Incheon Christian Hospital and Incheon Baek Hospital, both general hospitals in the region, to provide medical support for national veterans.

Mayor Yoo Jungbok, Kim Hyungki, director of Incheon Christian Hospital, and Baek Seungho, chairman of Incheon Baek Hospital, attended the signing ceremony. They agreed to cooperate to promote the health and improve the medical welfare of national veterans and their families.

Until now, approximately 35,000 national veterans residing in Incheon could receive medical expense support only at state-designated veterans hospitals or a limited number of commissioned hospitals. Going forward, when using Incheon Christian Hospital or Incheon Baek Hospital, they will be eligible for a 20 to 30 percent reduction in non-covered outpatient and inpatient medical expenses. In addition, they will receive special rate support for comprehensive health checkups.

The recipients of this medical support are national veterans and their spouses residing in Incheon. When visiting the designated hospitals, veterans must present their national veterans registration card, and spouses must also provide a certificate of family relationship.

Last year, the city also signed medical support agreements for veterans with five hospitals, and plans to continue expanding the number of participating hospitals in the future.

Mayor Yoo stated, "We have now been able to reduce the medical cost burden and improve medical accessibility for veterans and their families who have devoted themselves to the nation," adding, "We will continue to make various efforts that provide practical help to veterans and their families."
