We sincerely appreciate KOTRA and Korean companies for their support and look forward to more such participation in our fight against the deadly disease.”

Jeoung Yeol Yu, President – KOTRA, has been carrying out ‘CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) and ESG (Environmental Social Governance) Emergency Medical and Health Support Project’  in India to combat Covid-19 pandemic by facilitating Korean Manufacturers of Covid-19 medical products and PPE kits by bringing their donations to India for the Indian government, institutions and corporate entities.

“As a second step, we decided to support Indian nationals through Dialogue and Development Commission of Delhi and CII Foundation, and finally we will donate 8,000 KF masks more to Indian Red Cross Society (IRCS) for helping Indian nationals,” said Moon Young Kim, Managing Director-KOTRA Southwest Asia.

In its bid to motivate more and more Korean companies to come forward and offer their donations to India, KOTRA is also providing incentives to such companies. KOTRA is bearing the shipping cost of the medical supplies which are imported to India and donating them to various agencies.

Last week, 2 Korean companies Yeil Healthcare and Hwasung Industry donated oxygen concentrators fitted with Oxymeters (Yeil), and safety suit sets to the United Korean Associations for the Korean community in India.
