In addition to this refrigerator donation, Andong Hospital has continued a series of support activities for the local community since earlier this month. On April 1, the hospital donated 100 million won to the Gyeongbuk Community Chest of Korea, and on April 2, it provided 200 single-person mats worth 5 million won to residents staying in temporary accommodations such as Andong Gymnasium.

An official from Andong City stated, "Ongoing interest and support from the private sector is a great source of strength," and added, "We will spare no administrative support to help the affected residents return to their daily lives as soon as possible."
