When Jung Eun-kyung is appointed as Minister of the Korea Pediatric Youth Hospital Association, K Pediatric Medical will be reconstructed
Jun 30, 2025
The Korea Association of Pediatric Youth Hospital (Chairman Choi Yong-jae, head of Strong Children's Hospital in Uijeongbu) welcomes Jung Eun-kyung, former head of the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in that he played a major role in overcoming COVID-19 by taking the heavy responsibility of being the commander of the COVID-19 pandemic""After the appointment of the Minister of Health and Welfare, I hope that efforts will be made to re-establish the collapsed pediatric medical system with the know-how to overcome COVID-19 ""
The association stressed that President Lee Jae-myung has been calling for the real Republic of Korea from now on throughout the election campaign, which is not just a slogan but a desperate hope for pediatricians who are looking at the reality of pediatric medicine that has collapsed over the past few years. The nomination of former KCDC chief Jeong Eun-kyung as the health and welfare minister is due to his expertise in medical care and the reasonable attitude shown in his role as COVID-19 commander, and he firmly believes that he will rebuild K-child care once the nominee is appointed as the minister.
In the meantime, our children have faced numerous crises in pediatric medical care, and there has been a lack of practical response. "Minister-designate Jung Eun-kyung must know better than anyone else that there is no hospital to receive medical treatment even if children are sick, children stay up all night in emergency rooms, and it is impossible for serious children to even go to high-level hospitals," he said. "Please make every effort to develop policies to show the true nature of advanced K-child care by establishing real K-child care from now on for the caregivers and medical staff of children and adolescents who have been stomping on their feet."
The association also called for a practical policy change to change the system and structure itself, not a temporary increase in the number of temporary measures or a one-time policy, so that if Minister-designate Jeong Eun-kyung is appointed as a minister, an environment where pediatricians can properly treat children and adolescents and caregivers can have a safe and happy parenting.
In addition, he urged the government to designate pediatric medical care as essential national medical care, institutionalize sustainable financial support, enact the Framework Act on Children's Health that guarantees children's right to health, establish infrastructure for pediatric emergency, hospitalization, and intensive care, and prepare fundamental treatment improvements for the influx and settlement of pediatric and adolescent specialists.
