Daejeon City has designated two additional Dalbit Children's Hospitals. Dalbit Children's Hospitals provide medical care during late-night hours on weekdays and holidays, addressing the blind spots in treatment for mild pediatric patients under the age of 18.


On the 5th, Daejeon City announced the new designation of ‘Kim Young Pediatric and Adolescent Clinic’ located in Panam-dong and ‘Nuriel Hospital’ located in Yongjeon-dong as Dalbit Children's Hospitals.


These clinics will begin operating as Dalbit Children's Hospitals starting January next year.


Following the designation, Kim Young Pediatric and Adolescent Clinic will provide medical services from 8:30 AM to 11:00 PM on weekdays, and from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM on weekends and public holidays. Nuriel Hospital will be open from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM on weekdays, 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM on Saturdays, and 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM on Sundays and public holidays.


In Daejeon, including the two newly designated facilities, a total of five hospitals and clinics are operating as Dalbit Children's Hospitals: Tanbang MBL Hospital in Seo-gu, Kozel Hospital and Bongki Hospital in Yuseong-gu, along with the newly designated two locations.


Daejeon City also plans to attract a ‘Pediatric Specialized Emergency Medical Center’ to a regional general hospital in the first half of next year, which will operate a dedicated facility exclusively for pediatric and adolescent emergency patients 24 hours a day.



Nam Si-deok, Director of the Citizen Sports and Health Bureau of Daejeon City, said, “By expanding the designation of Dalbit Children's Hospitals, we aim to reduce the instances of children wandering around looking for medical care late at night and on holidays. Daejeon City will also do its best to attract a Pediatric Specialized Emergency Medical Center to ensure that pediatric emergency patients in the region face no difficulties in receiving treatment next year.”
