Korean Air is taking the lead in improving the treatment environment for critically ill children.
On May 27, Korean Air announced that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Korean Ronald McDonald House (RMHC Korea) and Inha University Hospital to establish and operate a Ronald McDonald House.
The RMHC will be built next to Inha University Hospital, providing a place for critically ill children undergoing treatment to stay with their guardians and families.
This free facility will support families of children who require long-term hospitalization or outpatient treatment, offering more than just accommodation; it will serve as a space for children receiving treatment at Inha University Hospital to be with their families.
Under the agreement, Korean Air will provide the land for the RMHC, while RMHC Korea will be responsible for its construction and operation. Inha University Hospital will manage medical connections and facility maintenance.
Cho Won-tae, Chairman of Korean Air's parent company Hanjin Group, stated, "Inha University Hospital was established by our founder Cho Jung-hoon to promote local medical development and return corporate profits to society. I hope that the establishment of the RMHC will help Inha University Hospital become the best hospital in South Korea, equipped with a top-tier integrated treatment system and support facilities for patient families."
Meanwhile, Korean Air has recently been expanding its social contribution activities, focusing on healthcare, disaster response, and environmental issues.
