Philips Korea, the local branch of Dutch health care company Philips, said Tuesday that it donated dental and household goods worth 35 million won ($29,300) to a local hospital for disabled children.

The company has delivered items including sonic electronic toothbrushes, kitchen appliances, vacuum cleaners and clothing irons to the Purme Foundation Nexon Children’s Rehabilitation Hospital.

“The donation was made to enhance the rehabilitation treatment effect and support disabled children to have healthy life to become respectable members of the society,” Philips Korea said in a statement.

The company expects the 200 donated units of Sonicare Kids and Sonicare EasyClean for adults to help disabled children take better care of their dental health at both the hospital and home.

In addition, the health care firm will be displaying its products in the hospital’s living hall area. The products will be used to train disabled children how to clean and maintain their personal hygiene.

“We are very happy to be able to help disabled children live healthier lives and to help them take care of their oral health,” said Peter Kwak, General Manager of Philips Korea’s Personal Health division.

“This will not be a one-time event as we will continuously seek ways to keep supporting disabled children in cooperation with the hospital,” Kwak said.
