Oct 31, 2025
Ewha Womans University Mokdong Hospital (Hospital President Kim Han-soo) will deploy personnel and sign language interpreters for the disabled from December to enhance the convenience of using medical institutions for the disabled. The allocation of these personnel was promoted by designating Ewha Womans University Mok-dong Hospital as a 'Convenience Support Project for the Use of Medical Institutions for the Disabled' organized by the Ministry of Health and Welfare. Ewha Womans University Mokdong Hospital will carry out the project for three years from July 1 this year to June 30, 2028.
Two members of the floor will reside in the staff dedicated to the disabled who closely support the entire process, including medical appointments, tests, and admission and discharge. In addition, one sign language interpreter will be deployed to relay and promote communication through sign language between the deaf and the non-disabled. Sign language interpreters will provide support such as sign language interpretation, text interpretation, and visual information so that hearing, visual, and developmental disabilities can communicate smoothly when using medical institutions.
Along with the allocation of these personnel, the hospital will accelerate the creation of a disability-friendly treatment environment by improving the movement of the disabled in the hospital and maintaining a guidance system. In addition, it plans to provide more practical convenience to the disabled based on data by operating a disability recognition education and evaluation system for patients, guardians, and employees.
Bae Ha-seok, a professor of rehabilitation medicine at Ewha Womans University Mokdong Hospital, said, `Many hospitals are making efforts to increase the convenience of using the disabled, but there are areas where they feel uncomfortable, such as communication in the field.' As a representative project implementation institution in the Seoul area, Lee Dae Mok-dong Hospital will make efforts to improve the convenience of using the disabled in the hospital community by creating pilot operations and best practices.'
Kim Han-soo, head of Ewha Mokdong Hospital, said "Idaemokdong Hospital is striving to guarantee the right to health of the disabled by operating a disability-friendly obstetrics and gynecology clinic from 2024."We will do our best to improve the understanding of information for the disabled and increase access to medical treatment by deploying personnel exclusively responsible for the disabled and sign language interpreters."," he stressed.
