Dong-A Pharmaceutical announced on the 25th that it will provide medicines and other supplies to the wildfire-affected areas of Uiseong-gun in Gyeongsangbuk-do and Sancheong-gun in Gyeongsangnam-do in cooperation with the Korea Pharmaceutical Association.

Dong-A Pharmaceutical plans to deliver a total of about 3,600 units of five major medicines, including the cold medicine Panpyrin, children's cold medicine Champ, and digestive medicine Benachio, as well as 4,000 bottles of Bacchus-D, to wildfire victims, firefighters, and volunteers through a volunteer pharmacy truck.

The volunteer pharmacy truck, with a capacity of 1.2 tons, was produced by the Dong-A Socio Group to quickly assist residents in disaster-affected areas. It has previously provided emergency relief supplies to wildfire-affected areas such as Uljin and Gangwon.

A Dong-A Pharmaceutical official said, "We have urgently provided medicines to help residents affected by the sudden wildfire, even if only a little," and added, "We hope that the daily lives of the affected residents can recover as soon as possible."
