[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Hyung-gil] The General Insurance Association signed a business agreement on the 4th with the Catholic University Seoul St. Mary's Hospital to provide medical expense support for low-income groups struggling due to COVID-19.

As part of the social contribution projects of the general insurance industry, utilizing the Sae Hope Healing Fund, medical expenses will be supported up to 5 million KRW per person, totaling 100 million KRW, for low-income patients facing economic difficulties due to COVID-19.

The support recipients will be selected through the hospital's charity patient review committee after receiving applications from patients undergoing treatment at Seoul St. Mary's Hospital.

We also hope that these revitalizations will collectively become the driving force for the entire nation to overcome the COVID-19 crisis together, and the general insurance industry will actively take the lead in fulfilling corporate social responsibility."
