Providing Medical Support and Services at Yongju Temple
On the 24th, Gyeongnam Nonghyup and Hapcheon-gun operated the 'Rural House Call Bus' in Yongju-myeon, Hapcheon-gun, providing mobile medical services to over 200 local farmers and residents.
The 'Rural House Call Bus' project offers comprehensive medical services such as medical consultations, oral examinations, vision tests, and magnifier support to residents in rural areas where hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies are scarce.

The event was attended by Lee Changhun, Deputy Head of Gyeongnam Nonghyup, Noh Sunhyun, Head of Hapcheon-gun Nonghyup Branch, and Song Jungho, President of Hapcheonho Nonghyup.
Medical professionals from the Integrated Health and Medical Volunteer Association participated, providing both Western and Korean traditional medical consultations, prescription services, oral examinations, vision tests, and magnifier support.
President Song expressed his gratitude, saying, "I am thankful to all the volunteers who came to Geochang, where transportation is inconvenient and medical service facilities are lacking, to provide medical volunteer work. Hapcheonho Nonghyup will continue to carefully look after the welfare of farmers and take a step closer to our members."
Deputy Head Lee stated, "I hope this was a helpful time for farmers exhausted by the heat. We will continue to carry out various activities to promote the health of farmers and create a vibrant, happy rural community."
