Jangan-gu Offers Free Dental Services Through Partnership with Jeongja Han Sarang Dental Clinic

Suwon's Jangan-gu announced on the 26th that it is implementing a free dental care program for people with severe disabilities who have difficulty moving, in partnership with Jeongja Han Sarang Dental Clinic, every Wednesday.

This public-private collaboration program, which began in February, has provided benefits to 19 people with severe disabilities, including those with Grade 1 visual and Grade 1 hearing impairments who had previously been unable to receive dental treatment due to mobility difficulties. The program is receiving strong support, with waiting lists exceeding capacity at each dong office.

The program was initiated on the proposal of Kim Yong-seok, director of Jeongja Han Sarang Dental Clinic in Hwaseo-dong, who offered to provide free volunteer dental services for those who wish to receive dental care but lack the means to afford treatment. Employees from Dentree, a dental supply company, are also participating in vehicle transportation volunteer work.

A district official stated, "Going forward, we plan to gradually expand this program with dental hospitals, and we are actively developing and implementing warm welfare policies that give hope and courage to those in difficult circumstances."
