Seoul St. Mary's Hospital Blood Hospital Opens New Bone Marrow Testing Room and Expands Injection Room

Reduction in Treatment and Testing Waiting Days

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-joo] The Hematology Hospital at Catholic University Seoul St. Mary's Hospital has newly established a bone marrow examination room and expanded the chemotherapy injection room to enhance customer convenience during tests and treatments.

On the 23rd, Seoul St. Mary's Hospital Hematology Hospital held a blessing ceremony for 19 beds in the bone marrow examination room and 10 beds in the second hematology hospital injection room.

Until now, the number of visitors admitted to receive treatment in the injection room at Seoul St. Mary's Hospital Hematology Hospital averaged about 200 per day and about 4,300 per month, and there have been continuous opinions that the injection room was insufficient compared to the scale of patients using the facility.

Accordingly, the hospital separated functions in addition to the existing 42 beds in the first injection room located on the 3rd floor of the main building, and prepared 19 beds for the bone marrow examination room and 10 beds for the second hematology hospital injection room on the 6th floor of the same building.

The bone marrow examination room is expected to be operated efficiently to reduce the waiting days for bone marrow tests for new patients and to enhance patient safety and convenience. In particular, the space was divided to install detection devices so that advanced sedation therapy necessary for pediatric patients can be applied, paying close attention to creating a meticulous treatment environment. Additionally, to prevent COVID-19 infection, partitions were installed between beds to ensure that patients can receive treatment in a safe environment.

Professor Kim Hee-je, Director of the Catholic Hematology Hospital, said, “It is fortunate that the expansion and establishment of the injection room and bone marrow examination room will reduce waiting times for tests and treatments to some extent, and we expect patient safety and satisfaction to improve.”
