Jul 03, 2025
Cheonan Hospital (Hospital Director Lee Moon-soo) affiliated with Soonchunhyang University recently provided free treatment to descendants of independence activists who need rehabilitation after a stroke, delivering heartwarming emotions to those around them on the 80th anniversary of liberation.
According to Soonchunhyang University Cheonan Hospital, it announced on the 3rd that it supported the hospitalization and rehabilitation of Choi, the granddaughter of independence activist Choi Bong-seol (71, female), who led the 150,000 won takeover case that became the motif of the movie 'NomNomNom'.
Choi, a Korean citizen of Kazakhstan, suffered a stroke in February this year. There were aftereffects of walking disorders, numbness in limbs, and sensory disorders due to paralysis on the right side of the body, but it was difficult to receive proper treatment due to a lack of medical infrastructure in Kazakhstan.
Choi entered Korea in May this year at the recommendation of her children living in Korea. However, it was also difficult to receive proper treatment due to economic burdens, such as not receiving health insurance benefits as a foreigner.
Good Neighbors International requested support from Soonchunhyang University Cheonan Hospital to help Choi, and the hospital began treatment procedures centered on the only state-designated regional cardiovascular disease center in Chungnam.
Professor Yoon Seok-man (neurosurgery), head of the cardio-cerebrovascular center in Chungcheongnam-do, and Professor Kim Soo-ah (rehabilitation medicine) head of the rehabilitation treatment center. Starting with outpatient treatment for neurosurgery on June 9, he was hospitalized on the same day and received intensive rehabilitation treatments such as walking practice, muscle strength training, physical therapy and muscle tension control training until June 27.
Choi's condition improved while walking through a walker at the first treatment. He has recovered to the extent that he has strengthened his muscles, raised his right hand and foot by himself, and went to the bathroom alone without a walker.
Professor Kim Soo-ah of the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine said, `He followed the training well during the hospitalization period and showed remarkable, if not perfect, resilience""If you remember the training you received at the hospital well and practice and practice in your daily life, it will be better,' he explained."
Mr. Choi said, `It is my wish to recover more and make delicious food for my daughter and grandchildren""It must have been difficult because of the different language and nationality, but I was deeply moved by the medical staff who always smiled kindly and did their best," he said, expressing hope."
Director of the hospital Lee Moon-soo said, `It was possible because of the sacrifices and dedication of independence activists in the background of Korea's establishment as a world-class medical power""It is an honor to help treat patients in a meaningful year marking the 80th anniversary of Liberation, and I will always remember the sweat and sacrifice of the ancestors who devoted themselves to the independence of their country ""
