Ulsan City Launches Mobile Rural Visiting Medical Bus Service

Medical Welfare Services Provided for 450 Residents of Dudong and Duseo Areas on July 29-30
Various Examinations and Health Consultations Offered

Ulsan City is launching a mobile medical service for residents in rural areas with insufficient healthcare infrastructure, aiming to address gaps in medical access.

From July 29 to July 30, the city will operate the "Rural Visiting Medical Bus Project" at the gymnasium of Duseo Elementary School in Duseo-myeon, Ulju-gun, providing on-site medical services for farmers and other rural residents.

The "Rural Visiting Medical Bus" project offers comprehensive health and medical services to residents aged 60 and older in rural areas where hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies are lacking.

This initiative is being implemented because the Dudong and Duseo areas in the Dubuk Nonghyup district of Ulju-gun were selected last year for the "Rural Visiting Medical Bus" program, which is supervised by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. The project aims to deliver accessible healthcare services directly to rural residents with limited access to medical facilities.

A total budget of 36 million won has been allocated for the project, targeting 450 residents in the Dudong and Duseo areas.

For this round of medical services, around 50 healthcare professionals?including doctors, Korean medicine doctors, pharmacists, nurses, and physical therapists?affiliated with the Integrated Health and Medical Volunteer Association, which has a partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, will participate.

Key services provided include various medical, dental, and Korean medicine examinations, health consultations, physical therapy, oral health checkups, vision tests and provision of reading glasses, as well as disease management and preventive education.

A representative of Ulsan City stated, "The Visiting Medical Bus project plays a vital role in closing healthcare gaps and improving the quality of life for rural residents, including farmers. Next year, we will work to expand the target areas so that more farmers can benefit from high-quality services."
