KB Kookmin Bank recently announced that it invited six Indonesian children suffering from heart disease to Korea and provided them with surgery and medical support at Samsung Medical Center in Seoul.
KB Kookmin Bank has been continuing its global social contribution project in collaboration with Samsung Medical Center, inviting Indonesian children to Korea and providing them with free surgery.
Following the successful surgery of four children in the first phase in 2024, the bank supported six more children in the second phase of this year, bringing the total number of children who have received a new lease on life to 10.
Park Seung-woo, president of Samsung Medical Center and Lee Hwan-joo, president of KB Kookmin Bank, and other officials visited the children they recovered from surgery and gave them gifts and heartfelt messages of encouragement.

Their support has given 102 children a new life to 102 children to date. Additionally, in 2014, it established the “KB Kookmin Bank Hebron Heart Center” in Cambodia and has continued to provide heart surgery and scholarships for children with heart disease.
