Sejong City "Designates First Dalbit Children's Hospital... Night and Holiday Care Available"

The first Dalbit Children's Hospital has been designated in the Sejong area. At Dalbit Children's Hospitals, pediatric patients with mild symptoms can receive outpatient care instead of emergency room treatment during nighttime and holidays.

Sejong City announced on the 25th that 'Well Kids Pediatric and Adolescent Clinic' located in Areum-dong has been designated as the region's first Dalbit Children's Hospital.

The operation of the Dalbit Children's Hospital will begin on the 1st of next month.

The designation period is until July 31, 2025. During this period, Well Kids Pediatric and Adolescent Clinic will provide medical services year-round, from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. on weekdays, and from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays.

Along with the designation of the Dalbit Children's Hospital, Sejong City has designated the nearby Aram Pharmacy as a cooperating pharmacy, allowing patients who receive nighttime and holiday treatment at the Dalbit Children's Hospital to have their prescriptions filled there.

Sejong City expects that the designation of the Dalbit Children's Hospital will improve the environment for accommodating pediatric patients with mild symptoms, alleviate overcrowding in emergency rooms, and reduce medical expenses through outpatient care.

Yang Wansik, Director of the Health and Welfare Bureau of Sejong City, stated, "In accordance with Sejong City's characteristics of having a high proportion of pediatric population, we plan to continue expanding the designation of Dalbit Children's Hospitals."
