Song Gap-seok, Pledges to Add Public Late-Night Children's Hospitals and Create Pet Playgrounds

Song Gap-seok, a preliminary candidate for Seo-gu (Gap), Gwangju Metropolitan City, announced on the 5th his pledges to designate a 'Public Late-Night Children's Hospital in Seo-gu' and to create a 'Pet Playground.'

Candidate Song stated, "There is only one public late-night children's hospital operating in Nam-gu, Gwangju," and added, "We will designate a public late-night children's hospital in Seo-gu as well to improve the pediatric medical system so that parents raising children do not have to rush early in the morning for the 'children's hospital open run.'

The public late-night children's hospital, which began operating for the first time in Gwangju in September last year, is a hospital capable of providing pediatric and adolescent care 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and has received favorable reviews from the local community.

Although it has established itself as an essential medical system with about 8,000 children using it within three months of operation, it is insufficient to meet the demand of the entire Gwangju area, and there have been continuous demands to expand the designation to each autonomous district, including Seo-gu.

Regarding the creation of a pet playground, he said, "Although Gwangju has entered the era of 300,000 pet owners, there is not a single pet playground throughout the entire city of Gwangju," and added, "Starting with the creation of a pet playground, we will make continuous efforts to establish a pet culture where people and animals can be happy together."

Pet playgrounds, which are newly established and expanded by local governments nationwide with the aim of creating pet-friendly cities, not only help improve the health and sociability of pets but also greatly contribute to preventing conflicts between general citizens and pet owners.
