Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education and Occupational Disease Relief Center MOU... Managing Lung Health of School Meal Workers

On the 27th, the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education will sign a business agreement with Hanyang University Hospital's Seoul Occupational Disease Safety Center to manage suspected lung cancer cases among school meal workers.

Through this agreement, the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education will share health screening data related to lung cancer of meal workers with the Occupational Disease Safety Center and continuously monitor their health status.

In addition to meal workers, suspected occupational disease cases among frontline education administration workers (such as cleaning and facilities staff) will also receive support for consultation and medical referrals.

The Occupational Disease Safety Center is an institution led by regional base hospitals that cooperates with local medical institutions to manage and prevent occupational diseases among workers.
