Dong-A Otsuka announced on September 24 that it had signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Maria Hospital at the Dong-A Otsuka Seoul office to collaborate on overcoming low birth rates and supporting couples facing infertility. The signing ceremony was attended by Lim Taewon, Chairman of the Maria Hospital Foundation, Park Chulho, CEO and President of Dong-A Otsuka, and other key representatives from both organizations.

Through this agreement, Maria Hospital will provide the ion beverage "Pocari Sweat Ion Water" to couples undergoing infertility treatments at its 10 main and branch hospitals nationwide, with nationwide logistics support from Dong-A Otsuka. Maria Hospital partnered with Dong-A Otsuka, recognizing the need for hydration and electrolyte supplementation during the in vitro fertilization and management process for couples facing infertility.

Maria Hospital will also offer infertility treatment support to employees of Dong-A Socio Group (including 10 group affiliates such as Dong-A Socio Holdings), aiming to improve both accessibility and convenience of treatment. This initiative goes beyond simple corporate welfare, as the company intends to contribute to solving social issues by supporting infertility treatment for young employees.

Pocari Sweat Ion Water, supported by Dong-A Otsuka, is a low-sugar, low-calorie version of Pocari Sweat and serves as a light daily hydration beverage. It maintains an electrolyte concentration similar to that of human body fluids, helping to promote rapid absorption of water in the body.

Lim Taewon, Chairman of the Maria Hospital Foundation, stated, "We are pleased that this agreement will help lower the barriers to infertility treatment for Dong-A Otsuka employees. Since this agreement not only supports couples facing infertility but also expands employee welfare, Maria Hospital will leverage its expertise to work together with the company to address the issue of low birth rates."
