The government's countermeasures of the Korea Pediatric Youth Hospital Association against the successive suspension of the pediatric emergency room are Ham Heung-cha
Mar 04, 2025
Regarding the suspension of night care at the pediatric emergency center at Sejong Chungnam National University Hospital as of March 1, the Korea Pediatric Youth Hospital Association (Chairman Choi Yong-jae, head of Uijeongbu Strong Children's Hospital) urged the government to "set up and implement measures by urgently checking not only the pediatric emergency but also the entire pediatric medical care."
The Korea Pediatric Youth Hospital Association said, "Sejong Chungnam National University Hospital has continuously operated a pediatric emergency center under a system of six to seven emergency specialists without internship majors since its opening in 2020, but due to the simultaneous resignation of dedicated doctors, the night treatment was inevitably stopped." "The collapse of the pediatric medical field at the training hospital will be worse as it is judged that the 4th year of pediatric medical care, who were the only ones left, retired after taking the specialist examination."
Vice Minister of Health and Welfare Park Min-soo said in a comment from a press article, "'Even in difficult conditions, the amount of medical treatment such as hospitalization and surgery is relatively stable, but there is a concern that the capacity of the background medical care will decrease due to the accumulation of fatigue of medical staff, and since February and March are a time when there are many changes in medical staff at training hospitals nationwide, each local government should frequently check the status of human resources and operations to ensure that medical institutions maintain essential medical care capabilities. At least, I think that the Department of Pediatrics and Adolescents is still unaware that it is not a change of hands.
Choi Yong-jae, president of the Korea Pediatric and Adolescent Hospital, pointed out, "Since the collapse of pediatric medical care, the Korea Pediatric and Adolescent Hospital Association has been urging the government to revive pediatric medical care, but the government's countermeasures and answers are Ham Heung-cha. As a result, the vicious cycle of continuing the suspension of pediatric emergency rooms and leaving pediatric and adolescent medical professionals and avoiding pediatric and adolescent departments has not been resolved."
Chairman Choi Yong-jae stressed several times the need to prepare a table for measures between the government and organizations related to the Department of Pediatrics to save the Department of Pediatrics and Adolescents, but every time, it is in place. The government should quickly recognize that the suspension of emergency medical treatment for children at Sejong Chungnam National University Hospital is not a change of hands, but a change of hands to prevent subsequent problems from occurring" he insisted.
