The hospital announced on the 17th that Professor Lee was awarded the 'Speaker of the National Assembly's Commendation,' a merit award, at the '12th Diabetes Academic Festival' held on the 12th at the National Assembly Members' Office Building Grand Conference Room.
Professor Lee was recognized for his contributions over approximately 30 years in treating pediatric diabetes patients, serving as president of the Korean Society of Pediatric Endocrinology, and his efforts to improve the health and rights of diabetes patients, enhance social awareness of pediatric diabetes, and expand support.
Professor Lee stated, "I have felt great fulfillment seeing young patients overcome difficult pain and trials from an early age and grow as members of society. Despite recent expansions in insurance coverage for pediatric diabetes, institutional support that can provide practical and comprehensive help to patients is still insufficient. I will continue to devote myself to research and treatment so that pediatric diabetes patients can overcome their illness and lead healthy lives, and also strive to increase social interest and support."
