KB Financial Group is expanding its support for firefighters' treatment and psychological recovery in conjunction with the opening of the National Fire Hospital.
On August 12, KB Financial announced plans to enhance welfare infrastructure and operate psychological and emotional programs for firefighters.
Located in Eumseong, Chungbuk, the National Fire Hospital is the first specialized hospital in South Korea dedicated to firefighters. It offers specialized medical and rehabilitation services tailored to the unique needs of firefighting, including treatment for burns, rehabilitation, and mental health support.
This initiative is part of a support program led by KB Insurance, which has established three 'Hero Rest Areas' within the National Fire Hospital for firefighters and their families. Additionally, 600 sets of 'Warmth Mailboxes' and 'Recovery Support Kits' have been delivered to assist in psychological and emotional recovery.
KB Financial has consistently provided support for firefighters. Last year, it supplied dust masks to reduce exposure to harmful substances at fire scenes. Since 2016, KB Insurance has installed 100 mental health stabilization rooms in 119 safety centers nationwide.
A KB Financial representative stated, "We will continue to expand our support system for firefighters, standing alongside the heroes who dedicate themselves to public safety."
