Ophthalmological examination: within the framework of the support project for ethnic Koreans
With age, regular diagnostics become vital, yet full medical check-ups in modern clinics are not always accessible to older people and pensioners due to high costs.
A significant number of elderly ethnic Koreans whose children have gone abroad to work reside in Bishkek and the Chuy region. According to a Good Neighbors study (2026), 77.9% of them suffer from vision problems, and 89.4% cannot afford private ophthalmologist services. Without timely treatment, people gradually lose their sight and end up isolated.
To remove this financial barrier, Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic, together with the Korea Foundation for International Healthcare (KOFIH) and the Koryo-in Diaspora Association, launched a project for the free diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases. The main outcome of such support is the timely detection of dangerous health conditions: during the exam, doctors identified a cataract in one of the participants for the first time and promptly referred her for surgery.
From an interview with a check-up participant:
Kim Lyudmila, representative of the Korean diaspora:
"Without this sponsored support, I would not have been able to visit such a modern clinic. I was examined, diagnosed with a cataract, and advised to undergo surgery. It is difficult for pensioners to pay for diagnostics, so we are deeply grateful for the care, attentive doctors, and excellent organization without any queues!"

We often share stories about our projects, support for children, and humanitarian missions. But we rarely show the faces of the people who make it all happen. Yet behind every report figure and every donation box, there are real people.
Today, we decided to change that. We set up a little challenge for our team: "Get a candy if you're not late for work." Some arrived right on time and got their sweet reward, while others missed out on candy today — but made it into our video instead 🍬
Why did we do this? Because we want you to get to know us better: not just through official reports and news, but through our everyday, authentic lives. We want to connect more, answer your questions, hear your thoughts, and simply be closer to you 🤗
So, let's get acquainted! 💚
