To create a premium postpartum care environment, the 2nd floor will be equipped with 15 mother’s rooms, an infant room, and a nursing room.

The 5th floor will have additional facilities such as family rooms, a sitz bath room, and a terrace sky garden walking path, while the 6th floor will be expanded to include a mother-child education room, skin care room, dry sauna, lounge rest area, and terrace-style walking course.

Additionally, the medical system space will be expanded to respond to emergencies and infectious diseases, advanced medical equipment will be reinforced, and a metaverse virtual reservation system will be introduced.
