10 Health Checkup Items Including Musculoskeletal Disorders
198,000 KRW Support per Person
Jindo County, South Jeolla Province (Governor Kim Heesoo), announced on the 28th that it will implement a special health checkup support project this year to improve the medical welfare of female farmers.
This project aims to systematically manage musculoskeletal disorders and other illnesses that may arise from agricultural work through checkups and education, in order to prevent work-related diseases and promote health welfare.
Among female farmers aged 51 to 70 who reside in Jindo County and have registered as agricultural business operators, those born in odd-numbered years are eligible for checkups this year, while those born in even-numbered years will be eligible next year.
The checkup covers 10 items across 5 categories, including musculoskeletal disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and fracture risk, and also provides education to prevent agricultural work-related diseases.
Ninety percent of the checkup cost per person, which is 198,000 KRW out of a total of 220,000 KRW, will be subsidized, and the remaining 22,000 KRW must be paid by the individual. Those wishing to receive the checkup can apply at their local town or township office, and if selected, can receive the checkup at Mokpo-si Dawit365 Internal Medicine Clinic, which has a contract with Jindo County.
