[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Shin Dong-ho] Seo-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (Mayor Kim Yi-gang) announced on the 25th that it has installed stroller and wheelchair sterilizers at the Children's Ecological Learning Library for infants and toddlers, whose immunity is relatively low.

For infants and toddlers with weak immunity, the hygiene condition of baby products is important, but most baby products such as strollers and large toys are bulky and not easy to wash, making it difficult to manage them at home.

Accordingly, Seo-gu decided to install a stroller sterilizer equipped with a sterilization system, and selected the Children's Ecological Learning Library located in Pungam Sports Park as the installation site, considering the convenience and accessibility of the users.

The sterilizer installed this time uses an eco-friendly natural sterilizing disinfectant to sterilize various molds, bacteria, and viruses within a short time of less than one minute, and removes allergy-causing agents such as atopy and rhinitis.

In particular, it can sterilize not only strollers but also wheelchairs and other baby products, and is equipped with an emergency situation detection sensor that automatically stops the device if a child enters or the door is opened during sterilization.

It also supports an LCD touchscreen and voice support service, making it easy for anyone to use.

For more details, please contact the Maternal and Child Health Team of the Health Promotion Division at the Public Health Center.

A Seo-gu official said, "We hope the sterilizer will be of great help to infants and toddlers and households vulnerable to health concerns amid COVID-19," and added, "We will continue to strive to create a birth-friendly social environment for Seo-gu, a good place to raise children."
