[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Min-young] SC First Bank announced on the 23rd that it donated over 5,000 masks to the medical staff at Daegu Dongsan Hospital in Jung-gu, Daegu.

These masks (N95) were supported by the Standard Chartered (SC) Group. They were delivered through the Greater China and Northeast Asia regional headquarters in Hong Kong as part of the commitment to protect Korean customers and employees who are striving to overcome the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

SC First Bank left an appropriate amount of masks for operational support to be urgently deployed at the head office and frontline branches, and delivered over 5,000 masks to Daegu Dongsan Hospital to support medical care in the Daegu and Gyeongbuk regions where demand is more critical.

Park Jong-bok, President of SC First Bank, said, “We hope that this mask support at the SC Group level will be of some help not only to Korean customers and employees but also to the medical field,” and added, “On behalf of all employees, I sincerely thank the medical staff and volunteers who are fighting a heartbreaking battle against COVID-19.”
