[Asia Economy Reporter Eunmo Koo] Namyang Dairy Products announced on the 23rd that it signed an agreement with the Korea Epilepsy Association on the 22nd to support children suffering from intractable pediatric epilepsy.

According to Namyang Dairy Products, the agreement ceremony was attended by Namyang Dairy Products' Research Director Kiwoong Lee and Korea Epilepsy Association President Heungdong Kim (Professor of Pediatric Neurology at Severance Children's Hospital), among others. Namyang Dairy Products plans to expand its free support activities for the special formula "Ketonia," which can aid in epilepsy treatment.

Namyang Dairy Products has been conducting free support activities for Ketonia for 12 years since signing a business agreement with Severance Children's Hospital in 2010 to help children from financially disadvantaged families who cannot receive proper treatment. Through this agreement with the Korea Epilepsy Association, Namyang Dairy Products announced that it will increase the number of patients receiving free support from 3 to 10 and participate in awareness improvement activities for epilepsy patients who face discrimination amid social prejudice.

Kiwoong Lee, Research Director at Namyang Dairy Products, stated, "As a formula manufacturer, Namyang Dairy Products has been steadily producing and distributing products for children suffering from rare diseases with a sense of mission. Through this agreement, we will also take the lead in improving social awareness of epilepsy."

Namyang Dairy Products' special formula Ketonia is the world's first liquid ketogenic diet developed in 2002 to complement the drawbacks of the ketogenic diet and to help treatment easily at home.
