Among South Korea’s major university hospitals ranked by specialty, Keimyung University Dongsan Medical Center was selected as the number one pediatric hospital in the Daegu-Gyeongbuk region in the APAC Best Specialized Hospitals list.

Cho Chi-heum, Director of Keimyung University Dongsan Medical Center, said, “We are pleased to achieve meaningful results in the pediatric field, which has recently faced many challenges such as a shortage of residents. Based on our historical identity as the first hospital in Korea to establish a children’s hospital, we plan to build a Maternal and Child Health Center and a Pediatric Emergency Center at Daegu Dongsan Hospital. We will continue to strive to establish a systematic medical system for children, who are the future of our country.”

Keimyung University Dongsan Medical Center established the Daegu Infant Health Center in 1930 to provide health consultations, health education, and medical care for infants, and in October 1953, it founded Korea’s first children’s hospital for war orphans of the Korean War. After the war, it provided medical volunteer services for over ten years by visiting the city of Daegu and orphanages to help restore the health of impoverished children.

Additionally, Keimyung University Daegu Dongsan Hospital (Director Jung Woo-jin) was selected in 2021 by the Ministry of Health and Welfare to establish a public pediatric rehabilitation medical center. The center will provide rehabilitation treatment and medical services for children with disabilities and high-risk children, with plans to open next year.
