[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] Daedong Hospital will participate in the 6th Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Childcare Medical Information Expo ‘Mom Comfortable Busan,’ held for three days from the 18th at the 5th-floor event hall of the Busan Port International Exhibition & Convention Center.

This event, held offline for the first time in three years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, is hosted by Busan City and provides opportunities for guidance, lectures, consultations, and various experiences related to pregnancy, childbirth, and childcare medical policies.

The event features a variety of activities that children and parents can enjoy together, including ▲Animal Family Puppet Show ▲Alssulmombap Talk Concert ▲Board Game Festival ▲Magic Science Show ▲Influencer Childcare Lectures ▲Childcare Medical Seminars, and admission is free of charge.

The venue is divided into the Medical Information Hall, Wellness Hall, and Public Information Hall, with about 50 booths installed. The Medical Information Hall includes participants such as Daedong Hospital, Inje University Busan Paik Hospital, Inje University Haeundae Paik Hospital, Dongui Hospital, Sehwa Hospital, Seoul Barunhyeon Dental Clinic, Busan Yehan Oriental Medicine Hospital, Nunevit Eye Clinic, Highview Eye Clinic, Namsan Hospital, Busan Oriental Medicine Association, and Busan Dental Hygiene Association.

The Wellness Hall hosts organizations such as the Korea Leadership Center, Mind Research Institute-Kritajin Diagnostics, Polar Ocean Future Forum, I-Maum [I:Eum] Language Psychology Research Institute, and Yeonje Neighbor Love Association. The Public Information Hall includes the Children’s Meal Management Support Center, Public Health Center, Korea Public Cord Blood Bank Research Institute, Busan City Daycare Center Association, and Women’s Center.

Daedong Hospital operates a ‘Hand Condition Verified by Eye’ experience booth to promote the importance of handwashing for preventing infectious diseases such as COVID-19 and influenza to Busan citizens visiting the event.

After applying a harmless fluorescent lotion to the hands, participants place their hands into a handwashing inspection device to see white fluorescent substances. Assuming these represent dust and various bacteria, participants wash their hands and then place them back into the device to check how much fluorescent substance remains.

If handwashing is done correctly, almost no fluorescent substance will be visible, allowing participants to visually confirm whether they usually wash their hands properly based on the amount of remaining fluorescent substance.

Participants who diligently perform handwashing during the event will receive a pencil set prepared by Daedong Hospital.

A Daedong Hospital official said, “Although the importance of handwashing has been widely recognized due to COVID-19, many people have not been able to visually confirm whether they wash their hands properly. We hope this event provides a good opportunity to check the condition of their hands before and after washing and to correct handwashing habits.”

Daedong Hospital has operated a Pediatric Development Specialty Center for over 20 years, treating various pediatric developmental and growth-related disorders such as speech disorders, developmental delays, precocious puberty, and short stature. It also provides specialized rehabilitation including speech therapy, occupational therapy, sensory integration therapy, and physical therapy for children and adolescents, earning positive responses from local residents.
