Hanwha General Insurance Supports Recovery for Female Cancer Survivors and Caregivers

Hanwha General Insurance announced on the 21st that it has started supporting female cancer survivors and their caregivers.

On the afternoon of the 19th, Hanwha General Insurance held the first project of the ‘Healing LIFE’ program, titled ‘Body: Healthy Eating Habits for Cancer Survivors,’ at ‘Youth Culture Space JU’ located in Mapo-gu, Seoul, targeting a total of 120 female cancer survivors and their caregivers. Healing LIFE is a project designed to help female cancer survivors alleviate the psychological and physical burdens experienced during cancer treatment, as well as support their social re-entry and career management after treatment, enabling them to continue a healthy life together with their caregivers.

The first lecture focused on ‘Healthy Eating Habits for Female Cancer Survivors,’ covering the importance of proper dietary habits from cancer diagnosis through recovery and remission. Clinical nutritionist and dietary coach Kim Tae-jin, who served as the lecturer, provided practical information to help cancer survivors and their caregivers recognize the importance of improving eating habits and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. After the lecture, a Q&A session followed, during which participants asked questions about topics such as ‘ingredient selection’ and ‘meal patterns’ that they had been curious about.

A customized participation program was also conducted to help cancer survivors and caregivers empathize with each other and relieve distress. The 120 participants chose and experienced one preferred program among ▲Green Therapy (creating artworks using plants) ▲Color Therapy (exploring psychological effects of colors) ▲Music Therapy (creating a small concert by playing handbells).

Participants expressed that sharing the experience with their caregivers was especially meaningful. Kim, a woman in her 30s living in Seoul, said, “The program that allowed my family and acquaintances to empathize with the fear and pain I felt during cancer treatment was impressive,” adding, “Not only the information about healthy eating habits but also the time spent supporting and comforting each other will remain memorable.”

A special ‘Touching Gift’ was also provided to female cancer survivors, offering a meaningful moment to comfort and encourage them through their battle with cancer.

Hanwha General Insurance plans to continue the Healing LIFE program as an ongoing social contribution activity. Going forward, it will provide a foundation for recovery and new beginnings through various support programs covering the physical, mental, and career aspects of female cancer survivors.

A representative from Hanwha General Insurance’s LIFEPLUS Femtech Research Institute said, “Through this ‘Healing LIFE’ program, female cancer survivors and their caregivers shared a time of healing and recovery,” and added, “We will continue to actively support cancer survivors so they can take steps toward a new beginning.”
