Sep 19, 2025
On the 18th, Changwon Himchan Hospital (Hospital President Sanghoon Lee) participated in the 'Rural Wangjin Bus' project jointly conducted by Hamyang-gun, Gyeongnam Agricultural Cooperative Federation, and Jirisan Macheon Agricultural Cooperative Federation (Chairman Cho Won-rae) and conducted the last medical support activity for local farmers this year.
The 'Rural Visit Bus' is a project to provide comprehensive medical services such as medical counseling, optometry and magnifying glass support, and nail care services by visiting rural areas that lack medical infrastructure such as hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies. Changwon Himchan Hospital has been in charge of Western medical treatment and has participated in medical services in rural areas in Gyeongnam for a total of four times since this spring.
On this day, about 20 employees, including Chung Dae-young, director of neurosurgery, and Kang Byeong-ryul, director of orthopedics, conducted X-rays, blood pressure and diabetes checks, osteoporosis tests, treatment and counseling, and physical therapy to 300 local farmers who visited the site at the all-weather gate ball site in Macheon-myeon. In particular, two of the latest extracorporeal shock wave equipment that can be treated only by visiting the hospital were also put in to provide higher-quality medical benefits.
Officials from the event, including Hamyang-gun County Governor Jin Byung-young, Gyeongsangnam-do Agricultural Cooperative Management Division Head Chung Young-chul, and Nonghyup Hamyang-gun Branch Head Noh Chun-seok, also visited the medical site to encourage local residents and express gratitude to volunteers.
Chung Dae-young, director of Changwon Himchan Hospital, said "As the years go by, the age of the elderly who meet at the rural medical support site is increasing, we are realizing an aging society.""I hope that the treatment that can be easily received in the city can fill the medical gap a little by providing services that are still difficult in rural areas. "
On the other hand, Changwon Himchan Hospital is participating in various medical welfare projects, such as supporting surgery costs for low-income families through agreements with local governments, in addition to medical support in rural areas.
