Southeast Regional Radiation Medical Center Hosts Event to Encourage Medical Staff on 'International Nurses Day'

Donut and Happiness Bubble Show Comfort the Hardships of Illness and Caregiving

On the 13th, the Dongnam Regional Radiation Medical Center held various events in the medical center's front yard to commemorate International Nurses Day, encouraging medical staff who are dedicated to the responsibilities of public healthcare and supporting patients undergoing treatment.

A medical center official stated that amid the recent difficulties in the medical field, the number of patients visiting the Dongnam Regional Radiation Medical Center, a regional public medical institution, has significantly increased, leading to a surge in surgeries and longer hospital waiting periods.

They added that although all medical staff are treating patients with a strong sense of duty and doing their best, fatigue is accumulating. To comfort the medical staff, they prepared donut snacks with the message "Thank you. Stay strong" and a happiness bubble show as a form of encouragement.

An outpatient nurse who attended the event said, "During work, many patients need help here and there, so it is hard to rest or relax, but being surrounded by nature, watching the performance, and eating snacks allowed me to heal even if just for a moment, which was really great."

Lee Chang-hoon, the director of the medical center, said, "We are very grateful that many local residents trust and visit the medical center, but it is also heartbreaking that the staff cannot find time to take care of themselves. We planned this event to send support and respect, even if just a small event, to the medical staff who are working hard for patients and to the patients undergoing treatment."

This event was organized as part of the Wings of Hope project by the Korea Atomic Energy Cooperation Foundation, sponsored by the local steel pipe manufacturer Hyundai RB and the coffee franchise C&Co Company.
