The event began with opening remarks and greetings from Cho Dae-sun, Director of the Children's Hospital, and Professor Kim Hyun-ho of the Department of Pediatrics and Adolescents, followed by ▲ Professor Han Min-jung's lecture on "Developmental Check for Premature Babies" ▲ Professor Park Sung-hee's special lecture on "Rehabilitation for Premature Babies" from the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine ▲ and Professor Kim Jin-ho's "Echocardiography Examination and Consultation" from the Department of Pediatrics and Adolescents.

In addition, attendees shared experiences and small joys from the treatment period through NICU video screenings, cello performances, reading of thank-you letters from families, and an exhibition of premature baby photos. Special events such as balloon art and body painting, along with a raffle, added both educational value and fun.

Director Yoo Hee-cheol said, "I hope the high-quality treatment in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and the passion and love of the medical staff will be a great support to the parents of premature babies," adding, "We will continue to faithfully fulfill our role as a regional hub for neonatal care and the responsibilities of a public medical institution by providing high-quality medical services."

Meanwhile, Jeonbuk National University Hospital was selected as the first in the Honam region to establish a "High-Risk Maternal and Neonatal Integrated Care Center" to safely treat mothers with severe illnesses and newborns, serving as a key medical institution for high-risk maternal and neonatal care in the region.

The Neonatal Intensive Care Regional Center (NICU) is responsible for the diagnosis and treatment of premature and high-risk newborns, including those born with multiple malformations or suspected congenital anomalies.
