Project
Medical Support
Ethiopia
In partnership with Myungsung Christian Medical Center (MCM), we are implementing an eye health support program for low-income patients with eye diseases and medically underserved populations in Ethiopia, a country that participated in the Korean War. The program provides surgical treatment and follow-up care for eye conditions such as cataracts, and also covers medical expenses for Korean War veterans and their spouses. Through these efforts, we contribute to restoring vision and improving access to healthcare.
