Yongin City Designates 'Dalbit Children’s Hospital' for Nighttime and Holiday Medical Care

Singal-dong Gangnam Hospital Open Year-Round Starting the 25th

Yongin City in Gyeonggi Province announced on the 11th that it will designate and operate a 'Dalbit Children's Hospital' where pediatric outpatient care is available during nighttime and holidays.

'Dalbit Children's Hospital' is a medical institution designated by the city or province to allow pediatric patients with mild symptoms to receive outpatient care from pediatricians during weekday nights, weekends, and public holidays, instead of visiting the emergency room.

The designated medical institution by the city is Gangnam Hospital in Singal-dong, Giheung-gu. The hospital will extend its operating hours and operate year-round, 7 days a week, from the 25th of this month until September 24, 2025. Weekday night outpatient care is available from 6 PM to 11 PM, and on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays from 9 AM to 6 PM.

Additionally, to facilitate prescription medication dispensing during nighttime or holidays, the Giheung-gu Public Health Center has designated three nearby pharmacies as collaborative pharmacies, which will operate on a rotating schedule by day.

A representative from the Giheung-gu Public Health Center expressed expectations that the operation of the Dalbit Children's Hospital will be a great help not only to children and adolescents in the Yongin area but also in neighboring regions.
