The Anyang Dong-an Police Station is drawing attention for its efforts to support the health of North Korean defectors and their families in collaboration with local medical institutions and private organizations.
On October 27, the police reported that they conducted free flu vaccinations for over 40 North Korean defectors and their families in the area, coinciding with the change of seasons.
The vaccinations were sponsored by the Gwanak Yonsei Clinic, located in Seoksu-dong, Manan-gu, Anyang City.
The clinic is operated by Im Dae-jin, an advisor to the Security Advisory Council, who has contributed to the health improvement of community members and support for North Korean defectors.
Im has been providing free flu vaccinations for North Korean defectors since 2006, continuing this service for nearly 20 years.
He expressed hope that this support would help North Korean defectors feel the warm concern and affection of our society.
Lee Seon-soon, chair of the Security Advisory Council, also indicated a commitment to ongoing support to ensure that North Korean defectors can live safely within the community.
Local citizens view this initiative as significant in caring for the health of North Korean defectors and assisting their integration into the community.
In particular, the continuous support from medical personnel and the Security Advisory Council, who have provided free flu vaccinations since 2006, is seen as a testament to the values of sharing and consideration within the community.
Meanwhile, Chief Kim Hyun-jung expressed gratitude to the Security Advisory Council and Im Dae-jin for their long-standing commitment to sharing, emphasizing that the police will also do their utmost to ensure the safety and protection of North Korean defectors in the area.
