Local medical staff will also receive training on how to use medical appliances and utilize the results.

Posco Daewoo has been supporting locals there via medical volunteer work since 2016, expanding medical treatment to social minorities and setting up a system that keeps track of individual medical records while improving sanitation at local hospitals.
