The National Health Insurance Service Gwangju Jeonju Jeju Regional Headquarters partnered with regional public institutions on September 22 to launch a joint integrity campaign at the Gwangju U-Square terminal, according to reports from iBN일등방송.
Joint Public Campaign Targets Holiday Corruption
Staff members from five distinct public agencies distributed anti-corruption guides to commuters and citizens during the Chuseok holiday travel window, as detailed by iBN일등방송. The outreach highlighted prohibitions on giving or receiving holiday gifts and reviewed the framework of the Improper Solicitation and Graft Act. Personnel also educated the public on institutional policies, including the introduction of a special judicial police system targeting illegal medical institutions known as “samusang” hospitals and pharmacies.
Participating organizations in the Gwangju initiative included the National Health Insurance Service Gwangju Jeonju Jeju Regional Headquarters, led by Head Lee Young-hee; the National Pension Service Gwangju Regional Headquarters, headed by Jung Jeong-tae; the Korea Road Traffic Authority Jeonnam Gwangju Unified Special City Branch, managed by Ahn Man-hong; the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency Gwangju Regional Headquarters, directed by Lee Dong-won; and the Korea Electric Power Corporation Gwangju Jeonnam Headquarters, led by Han Byeong-jun, according to iBN일등방송. Additional coverage by 의학신문 notes that these regional bodies formalize their anti-corruption cooperation through structured agreements and ongoing working-level councils.
Clean Public Service Week Reinforces Internal Standards
Running parallel to the public-facing terminal outreach, the health insurance headquarters designated September 14 through September 28 as a “Clean Public Service Week,” according to iBN일등방송. During this two-week window, the agency enforced internal protocols to preemptively block bribery or integrity breaches surrounding the autumn holiday.
Head Lee Young-hee emphasized the collaborative value of the multi-agency rollout. “This campaign was meaningful in that five public institutions in the Gwangju region gathered with a shared value of integrity,” Lee stated, as reported by iBN일등방송. “We will continue to play a leading role in fostering and establishing a culture of integrity across the local community through ongoing inter-institutional cooperation.”
