Our Children's Medical Foundation Woori Children's Hospital (Chairman Jung Sung-kwan, Hospital Director Baek Jung-hyun), the only specialized hospital for children and adolescents in the country designated by the Ministry of Health and Welfare (for 24 hours on 365 days), announced that Oh Hyun-kyung, deputy director of the Planning and Coordination Office, received a commendation from the Minister of Health and Welfare at the ceremony of the 「14th Population Day" held at JW Marriott Seoul in Seocho-gu, Seoul on the 11th.

The commendation was designed by the Ministry of Health and Welfare to announce the purpose of enacting Population Day on the occasion of the 14th Population Day, and to actively discover and award individuals and institutions (including organizations) who contributed to overcoming low birth rates, responding to aging, and improving population quality.

Considering the characteristics of the institution, which is a specialized hospital for children and adolescents, Deputy Oh Hyun-kyung prepared a staff training manual to provide friendly responses to the main guardians of pregnancy, childbirth, and childcare, and was highly praised for contributing to the practice of the pregnancy, childbirth, and childcare support system in our children's hospitals through the operation of alternative work on parental leave.




In addition, Deputy Oh is deeply interested in the aging issue and participates in the 「Milk Delivery" campaign to supplement nutrition through milk and link safety confirmations to elderly people living alone who may lack nutrition. The campaign is a social contribution activity that examines the safety of the elderly through milk accumulated at the door and connects additional support if necessary, and Oh's steady participation was also noted for contributing to solving the aging problem in the community.

In addition, our children's hospital is taking the lead in creating a pregnancy and childbirth-friendly working environment by actively encouraging the use of maternity leave, parental leave, and reduction of working hours during pregnancy so that employees in marriage and childbirth can choose without hesitation.

Chairman Chung Sung-kwan said, `Our children's hospital should be a place where parents and guardians are warmly cared for beyond just treating sick children"With this commendation, we will do our best to help our children's hospital take the lead in creating a pregnancy, childbirth, and parenting-friendly environment and contribute to solving population problems with local communities."."




Meanwhile, the Children's Medical Foundation recently established a cooperative system so that all citizens can receive accurate pediatric medical information when needed through a business agreement with the 120 Dasan Call Foundation in Seoul, and has established itself as a strong support for pediatric and adolescent medical care in the Seoul metropolitan area as a hospital that protects guardians and children 24 hours a day.
