Visiting 10 Suhyup Member Cooperatives Nationwide
Delivering Daily Necessities to Low-Income Members

The National Federation of Fisheries Cooperatives and Sh Suhyup Bank announced that they are holding the "Healthy Summer During the Heat Wave" event to support fishing villages. The two organizations will visit 10 member cooperatives across the country by the end of this month, delivering daily necessities to 100 low-income cooperative households at each location in response to the heat wave and rainy season. In addition, they will provide free traditional Korean medicine checkups for elderly residents to prevent heat-related illnesses.

Starting with Daecheon West Suhyup on the 16th, free traditional Korean medicine checkups have been held at member cooperatives in Gyeongin, Gangwon, Jeonnam, and Gyeongnam regions. Doctors and volunteers from the Traditional Korean Medicine Volunteer Corps participated, offering various traditional medical services such as health consultations, acupuncture, and moxibustion to about 100 elderly residents in each local village.

The National Federation of Fisheries Cooperatives and Sh Suhyup Bank are working to address the increasingly severe imbalance in medical supply and access in fishing villages by supporting health checkup expenses for fishermen, providing financial assistance for surgeries and treatments, organizing medical volunteer activities in fishing communities, and holding blood donation events for employees.

Roh Dongjin, Chairman of the National Federation of Fisheries Cooperatives, said, "The heat wave is a major concern for fishing villages, where the elderly population is high but medical and welfare facilities are lacking. The National Federation of Fisheries Cooperatives and Sh Suhyup Bank will continue to provide support so that fishermen can stay healthy throughout the summer."
