Older adults age 65 and older, people with cardiovascular disease, and those with chronic conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes need to be especially careful. On days when a heat wave warning is issued, please stay active indoors for safety.2026-06-26

Lung cancer is a malignant tumor that develops in the bronchi or lungs and is the leading cause of cancer death in Korea. It often causes no symptoms in its early stages, so regular screening is important for high-risk groups. Smoking is the leading cause, and quitting smoking is the most effective way to help prevent it.2026-06-26
