– Hypotears Plus and Gatiflo eye drops will be provided

Handok Pharmaceuticals Co. (CEO: Young-Jin Kim) said it will donate medical products to help Keyan children in eye surgery.

Products include artificial tears comprising 10,000 bottles of Hypotears Plus and 100 bottles of Gatiflo, antibiotic eye drop.

The donation is part of the ‘Light of Hope’ campaign undertaken by World Share, a humanitarian organization. The campaign begins on November 28 and lasts until December 5. The pharmaceutical products will be used in the surgery and treatment of about 100 Kenyan children who are suffering from cataract and other eye diseases.

Handok Pharmaceuticals said it planned the donation to deliver a little hope to recover eye sight to African children who lost their vision due to malnutrition and lack of hygienic care.
