Wando County to build 28-bed hemodialysis unit
Wando County in South Korea plans to build a hemodialysis unit to expand local treatment services.
The two-storey facility will be built in Wando-eup, with a total floor area of 466.15 square metres.
Its dialysis room will have 28 beds on the second floor.
The project will cost 4.2 billion won and is expected to be completed next April.
Residents now travel outside the area for hemodialysis, making treatment less convenient.
