The rural Wangjin Bus is a social contribution project that supports customized medical services by visiting residents of rural areas that relatively lack medical infrastructure from spring to autumn every year.
On the same day, about 20 employees, including Kang Byeong-ryul, head of orthopedic surgery at Changwon Himchan Hospital, and Han Sung-hoon, head of neurosurgery, conducted treatment and counseling for joint and spinal diseases at a temporary clinic in the gymnasium of Gonmyeong Middle School. Systematic medical services such as X-rays, blood pressure and diabetes checks, treatment, counseling, and physical therapy were provided sequentially from the questionnaire. In particular, it provided high-quality medical benefits by introducing the latest in vitro shock wave equipment and simple osteoporosis testing devices that can be treated only by visiting hospitals.
Before the start of treatment, they signed a business agreement with Gonmyeong Nonghyup, and officials such as Mayor Park Dong-sik of Sacheon City, Chung Young-chul, head of Nonghyup Gyeongnam Headquarters, and Kim Sung-soo, head of Nonghyup Sacheon City, visited the medical site to encourage residents. In addition, shuttle buses were operated to help senior citizens who had difficulty visiting attend, and vision measurement and magnifying glass services were also provided at the spring optician, which received great response from the participants.
Director Kang Byung-ryul said, `As the number of elderly people visiting medical support sites is increasing year by year, we are realizing an aging society"In order to improve the health and quality of life of the elderly in rural areas, we will continue to provide medical support to increase access to medical care at the hospital level." he said.
