Hello, I am Shim Jung Sun, CEO of DRB Healthcare Co., Ltd.
Human life is constantly threatened by diseases and environmental challenges.
COVID-19 has shown us how rapidly unexpected diseases can spread, requiring enormous effort and resources for treatment development, production, and distribution.
Furthermore, the extension of human life inevitably accompanies age-related diseases such as hypertension and diabetes, while incurable conditions like dementia impose enormous social costs.
Equally important are the environmental challenges caused by medical waste.
In Korea, more than 220,000 tons of medical waste are generated annually, costing over 300 billion KRW in treatment. Medical waste grows by around 10% every year, raising serious concerns for sustainability.
Diseases that threaten our health today and environmental problems that may harm tomorrow’s health are essentially connected.
Providing medical devices that both prevent disease effectively and minimize environmental impact is one of the core values of healthcare.
Current infusion sets often cause unintended drug adsorption. Studies show that approximately 10% of drugs are affected, potentially reducing therapeutic efficacy and increasing side effects for patients.
DRB Healthcare supplies non-drug-absorbing infusion sets that ensure safe and efficient drug delivery while minimizing environmental burden.
We are expanding our portfolio with eco-friendly medical devices that meet the needs of both patients and healthcare professionals.
Through continuous research, we aim to develop devices that address real-world medical challenges and to expand into areas where suitable solutions have yet to be developed.
We will keep contributing to disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment while building safer and more effective healthcare environments.
Thank you.
