Hanwha General Insurance is establishing a collaborative framework with medical and welfare institutions to support pediatric patients and their caregivers.
The company announced on July 14 that it has signed a memorandum of understanding with Korea University Medical Center and the Our Children's Medical Foundation to ensure educational rights for pediatric patients and provide wellness support for their caregivers. On July 10, it also entered into an agreement with the Korean Ronald McDonald House (RMHC KOREA).
Through this series of agreements, Hanwha aims to create a 'Wellness Alliance for Pediatric Caregivers' and jointly develop support programs to guarantee educational rights for pediatric patients and aid in the physical and emotional recovery of their caregivers.
Initially, in collaboration with Korea University Medical Center, the company will launch a pilot program for a specialized hospital school focused on mental health for children and adolescents whose daily lives and education have been disrupted due to mental illness.
In partnership with the Our Children's Medical Foundation, Hanwha will establish and operate a specialized hospital school for pediatric patients undergoing long-term treatment for physical illnesses. As part of the hospital school program, a wellness initiative will be developed to allow caregivers, who are often exhausted from caregiving, to rest and find psychological stability.
RMHC KOREA will provide expert advice on developing wellness programs for pediatric patients and their caregivers. Based on this collaboration, Hanwha plans to support wellness kits for caregivers that can be used in the field.
Na Chae-beom, CEO of Hanwha General Insurance, stated, “We initiated this project to empathize with the pain of pediatric patients whose daily lives have been disrupted by prolonged treatment and the caregivers who silently endure their hardships. We will work closely with specialized institutions in each field to realize the value of 'Well Together.'”
