This project involves a mobile vehicle visiting elderly residents living in medically underserved areas to provide health care services. The vehicle, equipped with medical equipment, will regularly tour villages, and professional medical personnel will provide medical services and health management programs inside the vehicle.
An official from the Icheon City Public Health Center expressed expectations that "this project will help manage the health of residents in vulnerable areas who have difficulty accessing hospitals and clinics, contributing to a happy old age."
