[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] S-OIL on the 30th donated 100 million KRW to the social welfare foundation Hanlim Burn Foundation at Hanlim University Hangang Sacred Heart Hospital in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, to support burn treatment for single-parent families. The donation will be provided to 10 low-income single-parent households.

According to S-OIL, the foundation was established in 2008 and supports medical expenses and rehabilitation treatment for burn patients domestically and internationally, as well as social reintegration support projects. The number of burn patients in Korea is increasing every year. Burn treatment takes a long time and involves many non-reimbursable treatment costs, placing a heavy financial burden on low-income families.

Considering the difficulties faced by burn patients, S-OIL has been supporting medical expenses together with the foundation since last year. The donation will be used to help affected patients recover from burn injuries without giving up treatment due to financial burdens.

Ryu Yeol, President of S-OIL, said, "We hope that families affected by burns can receive treatment without worry and return to a healthy daily life." He added, "During a time when everyone is facing difficulties due to COVID-19, S-OIL will continue its social contribution activities to support neighbors in need."
