S-OIL Supports Medical Expenses for Single-Parent Families Affected by Burns

[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Yoon-joo] S-OIL delivered a donation of 100 million KRW to the Hallim Burn Foundation on the 25th at Yeongdeungpo Hangang Sacred Heart Hospital in Seoul to help treat burn injuries in single-parent families. It is planned to support 10 low-income single-parent families with 10 million KRW each. The donation ceremony was held with a minimum number of attendees and in compliance with quarantine rules, considering the COVID-19 situation.

The Hallim Burn Foundation, established in 2008, supports medical expenses and rehabilitation treatment for burn patients domestically and internationally, as well as social reintegration support projects. The number of burn patients in Korea is increasing every year, and burn treatment takes a long time and involves many non-reimbursable treatment costs, placing a heavy financial burden on low-income families. As a result, many give up treatment midway.

Considering the difficulties faced by burn patients, S-OIL newly launched a social contribution program this year to help them and plans to continue providing medical expense support together with the Hallim Burn Foundation.

Ryu Yeol, President of S-OIL, said, "We hope burn-affected families can receive treatment without worry and return to their daily lives," adding, "S-OIL will be a reliable supporter to ensure no family gives up treatment."
