Atomy to Provide 5.16 Billion Won for Wildfire Recovery in North Gyeongsang Province

Three Integrated Community Centers to Be Established
Mobile Medical Services to Be Enhanced

Atomy is set to launch a full-scale recovery support project, investing more than 5.16 billion won to help residents in wildfire-affected areas of North Gyeongsang Province recover.

On December 8, Atomy announced that of the 10 billion won it donated to the Community Chest of Korea in March, more than 5.16 billion won will be used to support recovery efforts in the wildfire-affected regions of North Gyeongsang Province.

The donation ceremony held at the North Gyeongsang Provincial Office was attended by Chairman Park Hangil, North Gyeongsang Governor Lee Cheolwoo, and Jeon Wooheon, Chairman of the North Gyeongsang branch of the Community Chest of Korea.

The support funds will focus on restoring communities and addressing gaps in medical care. In Yeongdeok County, Uiseong County, and Cheongsong County, three integrated community centers equipped with residential, cultural, and exchange facilities will be built. The total project cost is more than 3.26 billion won.

For medical support, 1.9 billion won has been allocated. Three mobile clinics and one psychological counseling vehicle will be provided to Pohang, Gimcheon, and Andong Medical Centers, as well as the Andong Family Support Center. Mobile medical services, including examinations, treatment, and prescriptions, will be offered, focusing on residents affected by the wildfires.

The vehicles will travel throughout North Gyeongsang Province and can be immediately dispatched to disaster sites if needed.

Chairman Park Hangil said, "I hope the affected residents will be able to return to their daily lives as soon as possible."

Governor Lee Cheolwoo stated, "This will be a great help in rebuilding the region."

Meanwhile, in July, Atomy used more than 4.84 billion won as consolation and support funds for those injured or killed during wildfire suppression efforts and for emergency support to child welfare facilities. The remaining donations will be disbursed sequentially through the current recovery project.
