Jul 14, 2025
Our Children's Medical Foundation (Chairman Jung Sung-kwan), the only hospital in the country designated by the Ministry of Health and Welfare (for 24 hours on 365 days), announced on the 9th that it signed a business agreement with the Seoul 120 Dasan Call Foundation (Chairman Lee Jae) to improve the health of children and adolescents and to improve access to medical information in the conference room on the 2nd floor of the 120 Dasan Call Foundation in Seoul.
The agreement was a meaningful occasion for the Seoul 120 Dasan Call Foundation, which is in charge of complaints from the Seoul Metropolitan Government 24 hours a day under the leadership of the Seoul Metropolitan Government, and the Children's Medical Foundation, which is in charge of 24-hour pediatric and adolescent treatment on behalf of the Seoul metropolitan area, to resolve the gap in pediatric and adolescent treatment.
The agreement ceremony was attended by Seoul Metropolitan Government Deputy Mayor for Political Affairs Kim Byung-min, Woori Children's Medical Foundation Chairman Chung Sung-kwan, Woori Children's Hospital Director Baek Jung-hyun, Seongbuk Children's Hospital Director Yoo Byung-geun, Seoul Metropolitan Government 120 Dasan Call Foundation Chairman Lee Yi-jae, Management Director Park Jae-hee, Counseling Director Kim Gun-hoon, and officials from both institutions, including Labor Director Park Kyung-eun, to discuss and analyze the data to efficiently link the 24-hour essential specialized treatment system of the Seoul Children's Medical Foundation with the public counseling guidance service of the Seoul 120 Dasan Call Foundation.
The Children's Medical Foundation shared the status of 24-hour pediatric care operations at affiliated hospitals and regional distribution of patients in the Seoul metropolitan area, while the 120 Dasan Call Foundation introduced the current status of counseling, including the number of inquiries about information on pediatric and adolescent medical institutions, and had time to check the necessity and practical expected effects of this business agreement.
Through this agreement, the 120 Dasan Call Foundation will quickly and accurately guide pediatric and adolescent treatment information even during times when access to medical care is weak, such as night and holidays. In particular, information on the 24-hour pediatric and adolescent care system, specialized treatment centers, and clinics of our children's hospitals is mainly provided, and hospitals are also expected to link more detailed and systematic pediatric care information by regularly sharing the latest medical information such as treatment hours, treatment subjects, and the range of diseases available.
Kim Byung-min, deputy mayor of Seoul Metropolitan Government, evaluated that "the efforts of the Children's Medical Foundation have been exemplary cases in which the private sector preemptively resolved the gap in the field of pediatric and adolescent care that public medical care has not filled." As a parent of three children, I also had to run around university hospitals while carrying a sick child. "If parents who stomp their feet when their children are sick are well connected to a hospital specializing in children and adolescents that can be trusted 24 hours a day through the 120 Dasan Call Center, it will be a great help to heal not only children's health but also parents' hearts."
Deputy Mayor Kim also listened to on-site opinions such as the grievances of 120 Dasan Call Foundation counselors and encouraged them, saying, `I sincerely thank Dasan Call Foundation counselors who always listen to the small inconveniences of citizens and faithfully serve as a bridge between Seoul and its citizens.'
Lee Jae-jae, chairman of the 120 Dasan Call Foundation in Seoul, said, `The 120 Dasan Call Foundation is a channel of connection between citizens and municipal governments that guides Seoul citizens' various complaints and information 24 hours a day, and if 120 Dasan Call's counseling service capabilities and the medical expertise of our children's medical foundation meet, it will go beyond simple information linkage, and lead to substantial changes in improving citizens' access to medical care, improving the health rights of children and adolescents, and providing medical information that can be trusted by their guardians.'
Jung Sung-kwan, chairman of the Woori Children's Medical Foundation, also said, `It was always heartbreaking to see parents and children struggling to find a hospital to be treated.' `These experiences accumulated to establish the current 24-hour treatment system" he said. Chairman Chung then said "With this agreement, we will meet the Seoul Metropolitan Government and the 120 Dasan Call Foundation, and it is expected that our efforts to resolve the pediatric and adolescent treatment gap will be made more thoroughly in the future. We will do our best to provide practical help to both children and parents through continuous cooperation," he stressed.
Meanwhile, since April 1st, the Korea Children's Medical Foundation has established the nation's first 24-hour pediatric and adolescent care system, and both Woori Children's Hospital and Seongbuk Children's Hospital under the foundation have recently been selected by the Ministry of Health and Welfare's 'Essential Specialized Function Enhancement Support Project' to establish themselves as the representative of the metropolitan area and the only essential specialized hospital for children and adolescents in the country. With the signing of a business agreement with the 120 Dasan Call Foundation, a tighter medical network for children and adolescents will be established, and the children's medical foundation is expected to play an active role in the future.
