The Korea Social Security Information Service and the Korea Organ Donation Agency exchanged a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on the 27th aimed at identifying welfare-crisis households among bereaved families of organ donors. The agreement was signed in the main conference room at the Korea Social Security Information Service headquarters in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, and the commemorative photo included Kim Hyun-joon, head of the Korea Social Security Information Service, and Lee Sam-yeol, head of the Korea Organ Donation Agency.
The MOU was pursued against the backdrop of concerns that, in cases such as the sudden death of the household's primary earner, bereaved families of organ donors could face economic hardship and care gaps. Based on the view that bereaved families of organ donors could fall into a welfare crisis due to sudden gaps in livelihood and caregiving, the two organizations signed the agreement.
Accordingly, the two organizations agreed to inform bereaved families about the welfare crisis alert service during counseling and the support process for commemorative items. The goal of the cooperation is to raise social awareness of welfare-crisis situations.
If a dedicated team at the Korea Organ Donation Agency identifies a household suspected of being in crisis during counseling with bereaved families, it will report it through the welfare crisis alert app operated by the Korea Social Security Information Service. Through this, the system will identify crisis households at the point of counseling.
In addition, when delivering gift boxes for bereaved families and books to help cope with grief, the organizations will include promotional materials explaining the welfare crisis alert service. This is intended to encourage direct requests for help from those in need.
The heads of both organizations emphasized in common that this cooperation will provide practical help to the bereaved families of donors who carried out the noble act of sharing life. Kim Hyun-joon, head of the Korea Social Security Information Service, said that advancing systems and maintaining the attention of on-the-ground human networks are important to closing welfare blind spots, and added that he hopes this cooperation will prevent donor families from being left out of welfare support.
Lee Sam-yeol, head of the Korea Organ Donation Agency, said he expects the agreement to serve as a support for bereaved families facing economic and social crises in the midst of sudden grief. He added that the agency will continue to cooperate with the information service to improve the quality of life of bereaved families and strengthen the welfare safety net.
