Philippine Coffinoe Art of Love...Local medical service at Gimpo Jeil Ai Hospital
Feb 24, 2025
Gimpo Jeil Ai Hospital (Hospital Director Lee Hong-joon) and Songdo Canaan Church (Chairman Kim Eui-chul) conducted medical services and missionary activities at Kopino Orphan in the Philippines from the 17th to the 20th.
These institutions' Kopino free medical volunteer activities are held annually.
Lee Hong-jun, vice president of the Korea Children and Youth Hospital, said, `Kofino is a compound word of Korean + Philippino, which refers to children born to Korean fathers and Filipino mothers. Most Korean fathers live in abandoned orphanages in the Philippines without taking responsibility. As a result, their medical benefits are very poor, and they are engaged in local medical volunteer work with the church.'
In addition, Lee Hong-jun, the head of the hospital, said, "There are still many Kopinos in the Philippines who do not receive help, but the problem is that there is a lack of systems and devices to protect and raise such children." "As the mission of pediatrician is to help children grow healthy, the goal is to expand medical treatment not only for children and adolescents in Korea but also for Kopino children twice a year to check their health by visiting the Philippines every month."
He added that `I hope that many people's interest and warm hearts will be shared so that more Kopino children's medical and educational benefits can be achieved.'
Meanwhile, Songdo Canaan Church created a nursery in the Philippines to raise and protect Kopino children, and the mission began with warm hands and hearts, and now a school has been built and operated to educate children.
