[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-ju] Dong-A ST announced on the 20th that it held a donation ceremony to support medication costs for low-income cancer patients in collaboration with the Korea Medical Support Foundation.

This donation ceremony was organized to support medication costs for cancer patients facing economic difficulties due to COVID-19, aiming to improve the quality of life for cancer patients.

Dong-A ST provides medication cost support for cancer patients to the Korea Medical Support Foundation. Cancer patients apply to the Korea Medical Support Foundation through their attending physicians, and after review, the foundation disburses the medication costs to the patients.

Since 2020, Dong-A ST has been conducting a medication cost support project to prevent and treat severe neutropenia in cancer patients.

A Dong-A ST official stated, "There are many unfortunate cases around us where cancer patients who require expensive treatments give up on treatment due to the added economic difficulties caused by COVID-19. We will continue to visit neighbors in need directly to provide practical help and actively participate in activities that respect life by expanding the scale of our support projects."
