Hanwha Provides Yongin Hanwha Life Training Center as COVID-19 Treatment Facility

[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Yoon-joo] Hanwha Group has decided to assist in the shortage of hospital beds caused by the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19). The Hanwha Life Life Park training center located in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province will be provided as a treatment center. Following Samsung and LG, it is the third among the top 10 conglomerates to open its company training facility for the isolation treatment of COVID-19 patients.

Hanwha Group announced on the 5th that it will proactively provide the Yongin Hanwha Life training center, anticipating the demand for residential treatment centers for mild patients in the Seoul metropolitan area including Seoul and Gyeonggi Province. Hanwha is the first to decide to offer a private training facility as a residential treatment center outside the Daegu and Gyeongbuk regions.

Hanwha Life Life Park, located in Cheoin-gu, Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, is a smart training facility opened in April last year to cultivate digital financial professionals for Hanwha Life employees and financial planners (FPs). The site area is 82,000 square meters, and the total floor area reaches 30,000 square meters. It is used annually as an educational facility for about 12,000 Hanwha Life employees and FPs.

It has 200 rooms in two lodging buildings, each equipped individually with a bed, bathroom, shower facilities, TV, and Wi-Fi environment. Hanwha has been reviewing other utilization plans for this facility to prevent the spread of COVID-19 since the end of January.

Hanwha Life Life Park will be used as a treatment center where relatively mild patients can be isolated and receive medical staff management through consultations with local governments and others. Its geographical proximity to large hospitals in Seoul and Suwon is also an advantage.

Hanwha Group is conducting company-wide activities to overcome the COVID-19 crisis. Hanwha Corporation and Hanwha Solutions donated 150,000 masks to the Daegu and Gyeongbuk areas, designated as special management zones for COVID-19, on the 26th of last month.

Hanwha Life is providing special support to customers affected by COVID-19. It is deferring insurance premium payments and loan principal and interest repayments for six months for policyholders and loan customers. Additionally, masks and daily necessities were packed in boxes and delivered by courier with support messages to the homes of 2,000 FPs in the Daegu and Gyeongbuk regions.
