Uijeongbu Hospital has consistently operated free medical care and vaccination programs for foreign workers, asylum seekers, and marriage immigrants who are in medically underserved communities.

This free influenza vaccination program was also implemented to prevent infectious diseases among foreign workers with limited access to healthcare and to strengthen the local community's health safety net.

A volunteer who participated as a Thai interpreter at the free vaccination site said, "It is not easy for foreigners to take care of their own health, so I am truly grateful that Uijeongbu Hospital provided free influenza vaccinations. I hope this kind of warm consideration and care will continue in the future."

Director Lee Inyoung stated, "Foreigners are valuable members of the local community, just like Korean nationals," and added, "As a public hospital, Uijeongbu Hospital will continue to expand public healthcare services such as free medical care and vaccinations for those in medically underserved areas, including foreign workers."
