Sep 06, 2024
Changwon Himchan Hospital (Hospital President Sanghoon Lee) accompanied Goseong-gun and Gyeongnam Nonghyup on the 5th for the 「Rural Wangjin Bus Project」. It is a social contribution project that supports visiting medical services for rural areas with relatively insufficient medical infrastructure.
On the same day, about 20 employees, including Kim Tae-wan, head of orthopedics at Changwon Himchan Hospital, and Chung Dae-young, head of neurosurgery, conducted medical support activities for about 300 farmers living in Georyu-myeon and Donghae-myeon at a temporary clinic at the welfare center in Donghae-myeon, Goseong.
It provided systematic medical services such as X-rays, blood pressure and diabetes checks, treatment, counseling, and physical therapy, from the questionnaire of joint and spinal diseases. In particular, the latest in vitro shock wave equipment and simple osteoporosis testing devices that can be treated only by visiting hospitals were also introduced, which received great response from participants.
Prior to the start of the treatment, a business agreement was signed with Goseong Dongbu Agricultural Cooperative Federation (Chairman Chun Jae-ki), and officials such as Goseong County Governor Lee Sang-geun and Gyeongnam Agricultural Cooperative Deputy Headquarters Director Lee Chang-hoon visited the medical site to encourage residents.
Kim Tae-wan, director of Changwon Himchan Hospital, said "Even if your shoulders or knees hurt, there are more elderly people who delay treatment due to concerns about surgery than expected."It was a meaningful time to visit rural areas to check the health of elderly people who are tired of farming and to inform them that there are various treatments other than surgery", he expressed his feelings.
Meanwhile, Changwon Himchan Hospital has been steadily participating in medical services in rural areas in Gyeongsangnam-do for the past decade, and has been carrying out various win-win sharing activities such as supporting surgery costs for low-income families, participating in blood donation campaigns, and supporting ambulances at local marathon events.
