Coupang's 7th is Health Day. Coupang announced on the same day that it has launched a health examination project called "Coupang On Neighborhood Care," which directly visits local residents who lack medical infrastructure.

This project was carried out with the aim of reducing marginalized areas in medical services like the national logistics network. It travels to Jeolla, Gyeongsang, Gangwon, and Chungcheong provinces at least once a month to provide medical services to residents who have difficulty accessing hospitals. Through this, Coupang aims to bridge the medical gap between regions and alleviate residents' inconvenience.

Jangsu-gun, Jeollabuk-do, which was selected as the first target site, is a super-aged area where more than 40% of the population is 65 years or older. It is a representative vulnerable area with low access to medical care. The event was held at the Hanguri Hall in Jangsu-gun. About 40 people, including medical staff and volunteers from the Korea Central Medical Service Association, participated.

On this day, more than 400 people, including local seniors and multicultural families, were provided with comprehensive medical services such as internal medicine, orthopedics, psychiatry, dentistry, and oriental rehabilitation medicine, blood and bone density tests, physical therapy, and dementia and depression tests. Visiting treatment for residents with limited mobility was also provided. Prescription drugs and emergency medicine kits were provided, and if there were any abnormal findings, it was also supported in connection with higher hospitals.

An official from Coupang's Social Contribution Office said, "The issue of access to medical care in areas where population is decreasing is a social task that companies should also consider," adding, "We will expand our social contribution projects so that there are no areas where medical services are marginalized like the logistics networks that Coupang has established across the country."

Starting with Jangsu-gun, Coupang plans to expand its program to Danyang, Chungcheongbuk-do, in May to continue supporting vulnerable areas across the country.
