The white paper is a book that summarizes the social contribution promotion strategies and major business performance of Jaseng Oriental Medicine Hospital, and marks its 12th publication this year. The foundation is carrying out various social contribution activities to realize social values such as medical services, sharing activities, scholarship projects, and veterans' projects.
Looking at the main activities of the white paper, the foundation conducted steady medical volunteer activities for rural residents in the medical blind spot. We visited Imsil, Jeollabuk-do, Inje, Gangwon, and Jeju to provide acupuncture, herbal medicine, and herbal medicine prescriptions for the elderly.
In addition, miners, nurses, and technicians dispatched to Germany in the 1960s and 1970s with the dream of earning foreign currency were invited to Korea to volunteer for oriental medicine. The foundation plans to continue the medical support project inviting dispatched workers every year.
The foundation also generously provides goods that are practically necessary for the underprivileged. In April last year, 400 bags of 10-kg white rice were donated to the Seoul Metropolitan Government Social Welfare Council to solve the problem of the elderly living alone.
In the summer, 273 bedding sets worth 15 million won were delivered to the victims of Seocheon-gun, Chungcheongnam-do, who were flooded by record heavy rains.
In winter, 1,500kg of kimchi made through the 14th Kimchi Sharing Event of Love was divided into 360 boxes and delivered to the Korea Association for the Disabled, the Seoul Blind Association, and the Gyeonggi-do Blind Association.
The foundation also carried out various scholarship projects to help children and adolescents, the dreams and hopes of our society, grow into global talents. Twenty-one self-sustaining oriental medicine hospitals nationwide held a delivery ceremony last year for the 11th Self-sustaining Hope Dream Scholarship and delivered scholarships to a total of 38 teenagers.
In addition, a delivery ceremony was held for the 3rd Self-Sustaining Shin Joon-sik Scholarship, and 12 scholarships were selected from among students from oriental medicine universities and graduate schools of oriental medicine nationwide to provide full one-year tuition. The scholarship was raised at the private expense of Dr. Shin Joon-sik, founder of Jaseng Oriental Medicine Hospital, worth about 120 million won.
The scholarship project was also conducted overseas. The foundation visited Quangzi Province, an underdeveloped area in Vietnam, and delivered a cow to the families of five students in need among the students at Quangzi Health University. In addition, he encouraged Korean descendants of Bucheon University (BUT) in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, and donated a scholarship of 10 million won to foster excellent talent.
In addition, the foundation also carried out various veterans projects. This is to follow the will of Shin Joon-sik's predecessor, Shin Kwang-ryul (1903-1980), an independence activist and oriental doctor Cheongpa.
The foundation, which signed an agreement with the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs 'Surviving Patriot Oriental Medicine Doctor', visited survivors who resisted Japanese imperialism for the independence movement and provided medical services such as acupuncture and herbal medicine prescriptions. It also opened a business to visit four elderly living patriots to take pictures of filial piety and hand over frames. In particular, a monument was built and an unveiling ceremony was held at the home of Kang Tae-sun, the only surviving patriot in Jeju Island.
In June, the month of the Patriots and Veterans Affairs, a self-sustaining volunteer group visited the Seoul National Cemetery and carried out volunteer activities to purify graves. In December, ahead of the 80th anniversary of Korea's liberation, the '4th Veterans Content Contest' was held, and the campaign was held for the entire nation to find proud Korean heroes. Thanks to these efforts, the foundation received the '25th Veterans Culture Award' hosted by the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs last year.
Park Byung-mo, Chairman of the Self-Sustaining Medical Foundation, said "The Self-Sustaining Medical Foundation is taking the lead in realizing social values based on the management philosophy of the 矜恤 who wants to help people in need"We will always extend our warm hands to neighbors in need and give sharing and support in the future."
