Dec 31, 2024

Our Children's Medical Foundation (Chairman Jung Sung-kwan), which has a specialized hospital for children and adolescents, announced that Our Children's Hospital and Seongbuk Children's Hospital have participated in the relay campaign to prevent child abuse 'positive parenting'.

The campaign aims to spread a culture of positive parenting that respects children as independent personalities to prevent child abuse, and to increase awareness of child abuse by local communities and experts.

The campaign began in May at the Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Children's Rights Security Agency for Family Month, and Woori Children's Hospital and Seongbuk Woori Children's Hospital were designated by the Seongbuk-gu Medical Association (Chairman Lee Hyang-ae) to participate.




Our Children's Hospital and Seongbuk Woori Children's Hospital are designated as Sprout Keeper Hospital (a medical institution dedicated to child abuse), and since 2021, they have been taking the lead in protecting children by providing rapid examination, treatment, and counseling services for children affected by abuse.

At Woori Children's Hospital, Baek Jung-hyun, the head of the hospital, and Jang Hyo-sang, a medical social worker, serve as members of the Guro-gu Child Welfare Review Committee and are actively responding to cases of child abuse. In addition, he was awarded a commendation from the Seoul Metropolitan Government for his contribution to the protection and support of children affected by abuse.

In Seongbuk-ri Children's Hospital, Cho Ki-hye, the head of the Strong Center, is active in the Children's Rights Security Agency's association committee, and continues to provide medical treatment and support for children subject to adoption through a business agreement with the Gender Family Adoption Center.




The Children's Medical Foundation continues to make systematic efforts to improve the welfare of children, families and communities beyond providing medical services so that children in the community as well as children affected by child abuse can grow in a healthy and safe environment.

Chairman Chung Sung-kwan said, `I hope this relay campaign will serve as an important opportunity to prevent child abuse and spread awareness of positive parenting. Our Children's Medical Foundation will continue to work with local communities to continue child welfare and abuse prevention activities, and will do its best to create a warm world where families and society share while respecting children."

As participants in the next campaign, Woori Children's Hospital asked Lee Jin-ho, the head of Jaseng Oriental Medicine Hospital, and the Guro-gu Office Child Abuse Team, and Seongbuk Children's Hospital asked Park Joon-eun, a professor at Korea University's Anam Hospital, to continue the relay.
