Apr 18, 2025
Uijeongbu Strong Children's Hospital (CEO Choi Yong-jae, Chairman of the Korea Pediatric Youth Hospital) has completed the establishment of an emergency pediatric care system to treat pediatric emergency patients and quasi-serious patients in order to cope with the collapse of the pediatric medical system and has begun full-scale operation.
The emergency pediatric care system prepared by Uijeongbu Strong Children's Hospital is a system to block the source of infection in the pediatric intensive care unit and inpatient hospital due to the outbreak of pediatric infectious diseases to treat pediatric emergency patients and quasi-serious patients.
Uijeongbu Strong Children's Hospital "In the event of a sudden emergency, there are many cases of holding a phone for hours and inquiring about it in order to be transferred to a higher hospital, and most of them receive a message saying that no one is allowed.""As this phenomenon is repeated and the patient's life may be in danger in the meantime, as a desperate measure, we have set up a three-bed pediatric intensive care unit in the hospital's third-floor ward.""
The hospital said "This pediatric intensive care unit is equipped with facilities to care for pediatric emergency patients such as high-flow oxygen therapy devices and ventilators."
Also, since COVID-19, various childhood infectious diseases such as influenza, mycoplasma pneumonia, lobular pneumonia, RSV, etc. have occurred alternately, and due to the lack of single rooms, different pediatric infectious children are forced to be hospitalized in multi-rooms, and state-of-the-art air purification facilities with an electric heating exchange method have been installed in all rooms to address concerns and complaints about infection in the room of the patient's guardian" he said.
The hospital explained that "This total heat exchanger absorbs air through a filter, heats it, and re-exports it with a filter to block viruses and harmful substances in double or triple."
Uijeongbu Strong Children's Hospital recently established a precision medical center that will be responsible for managing chronic diseases, a hot issue for children and adolescents.
In the future, this precision medicine center plans to manage childhood chronic diseases such as obesity, hyperlipidemia, and type 2 diabetes, which have been cared for as individual diseases, as integrated diseases.
The hospital explained, "The longer the prevalence period, the greater the risk of complications such as heart disease and precocious puberty, and the more it spreads to problems such as low kidney and depression.".
Choi Yong-jae, head of Strong Children's Hospital in Uijeongbu, said, "There is no support from the government for the establishment of intensive care units for children, but the health and life of children are increasingly common due to the collapse of the pediatric medical system, which is an urgent prescription to protect the lives of our precious children from such poor medical and medical conditions." Fellow doctors are worried and concerned, saying, "(The deficit is clear)" But it was an inevitable choice because our children's precious lives are more important than money to fulfill their mission as a pediatrician and a pediatrician" he vented.
Choi Yong-jae, the director of the hospital, said, `Children and adolescent hospitals are still struggling with the message that higher hospitals are unable to access children when an emergency patient occurs"It is absolutely necessary to take strong measures from the government to solve this problem."
In addition, Choi Yong-jae, the head of the hospital, reiterated that `I hope there will be no negligence in preparing measures, recognizing that the pediatric hospital, which does not have any government support, is a temporary measure to fill the long-running pediatric medical gap and the sense of duty as a medical institution for children and adolescents.'
