We Friends' Aid
It is a private medical support system of "mutual assistance" where migrants living and working in Korea join as members and help each other. Immigrants often have difficulty in treating diseases caused by failure to subscribe to the national health insurance due to their visa qualification issues. Hence, this system helps them alleviate the aforementioned difficulty.
We Friends' Aid, ICSC (Immigrant Citizens' Solidarity Social Co-operative), and a number of medical institutions have formed a network to participate in medical support for We Friends' Aid.
