Gwangjin-gu, Korea Senior Citizens Association Gwangjin Chapter and Jeil Clean sign MOU to improve hygiene at senior centers; free disinfection and pest control services to cover 42 district-run facilities for one year
Gwangjin-gu signed a three-way MOU Tuesday with the Korea Senior Citizens Association Gwangjin Chapter and Jeil Clean Co. to support disinfection and pest control services at local senior centers.
The agreement aims to build a systematic approach to improving hygiene and living conditions at senior centers through public-private cooperation, allowing elderly residents to use the facilities in a cleaner and safer environment.
Under the MOU, Jeil Clean will provide free, regular disinfection and pest control services at 42 district-run senior centers in the area for one year. The specific scope and frequency of services will be determined through consultations among the three parties.
Through the initiative, the district plans to improve sanitation and living conditions at senior centers to protect the health of elderly residents, who are more vulnerable to illness. Gwangjin-gu also said it intends to expand public-private partnerships that connect corporate social responsibility activities with community welfare services.
"Through this agreement, elderly residents will be able to use senior centers in a safer and more comfortable environment," Gwangjin-gu District Mayor Kim Kyung-ho said. "We will continue to work closely with the private sector to link their social contribution activities with community welfare services, and do our utmost to protect the health and well-being of our senior residents."
