KB Kookmin Bank said on the 25th that it had invited six Cambodian children with heart conditions to South Korea and funded their surgeries free of charge.

Since 2012, the bank has run the "Cambodian Children with Heart Disease Support Program" together with the Financial Supervisory Service and The Salvation Army. A total of 113 children have received support to date.

KB Kookmin Bank CEO Lee Hwan-joo visited the children, who are recovering after surgery at Sejong Hospital in Bucheon, the previous day and gave them gifts including backpacks and dolls. A KB Kookmin Bank official said, "We will continue to pursue sincere inclusive finance and social contribution activities so that children in medical blind spots can grow up healthy."
