Changwon Himchan Hospital (Hospital President Sanghoon Lee) joined the 'Rural Wangjin Bus' project jointly conducted by Sancheong-gun and Gyeongsangnam-do Agricultural Cooperative Federation on the 20th. It is a social contribution project to support health care services to residents in rural areas that lack medical infrastructure such as hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies.

On the same day, about 20 employees, including Director Chung Dae-young of neurosurgery and Choi Jung-woo of orthopedics, visited 350 local farmers at a mobile clinic in the auditorium of the Sanincheong Health Nuri Center.

For residents aged 60 or older in Sancheong-eup, Cha Hwang-myeon, Obu-myeon, Saengcho-myeon, and Geumseo-myeon who visited the site, the medical staff of Changwon Himchan Hospital conducted X-rays, blood pressure and diabetes checks, treatment, counseling, and physical therapy sequentially, starting with interviews of joint and spinal diseases. In particular, it provided high-quality medical benefits by introducing extracorporeal shock wave equipment and simple osteoporosis testing devices that can be treated only by visiting hospitals.




Prior to the start of treatment, through a business agreement with Sancheong-gun Agricultural Cooperative Federation (Chairman Cho Chang-ho), it promised to maintain friendly and cooperative relationships and promote joint profits. Officials from Sancheong-gun and Gyeongsangnam-do Agricultural Cooperatives visited the venue to encourage residents and provided support by running circulating buses for seniors who have difficulty coming individually. In addition to medical support, it also provided vision measurement, magnifying glass payment, and oral care test services, which received positive responses from participants.

Director Jeong Dae-young said, `It was rewarding to be able to visit the elderly who had delayed visiting the hospital even if they were sick due to their busy schedule during the farming season.' We hope that medical support activities to improve access to physical medical care will continue because even high-quality farmer diseases can improve symptoms through constant management and continuous treatment.'

Meanwhile, Changwon Himchan Hospital will visit Sancheong-gun again in July and accompany residents of Samjang-myeon, Sicheon-myeon, Danseong-myeon, Sinan-myeon, Saengbiryang-myeon, and Sindeung-myeon.
