Choi Yong-jae, Chairman of the Korea Pediatric Youth Hospital Association, should start the government and political circles to revive pediatric medical care
Jan 01, 2025
In his New Year's address, Choi Yong-jae, chairman of the Korea Pediatric Youth Hospital, asked, "Let's make a year that is faithful to our mission to protect children from childhood infections.' It also urged the government and political circles to come forward to revive the pediatric medical system.
To this end, Chairman Choi emphasized the need to establish a pediatric and adolescent medical department in the government and separate pediatric health care policies.
Hello? I'm Choi Yong-jae, president of the Korea Pediatric Youth Hospital Association.
The eventful 2024 has come to an end and a new morning of the year of Eulsa has come to an end with new hopes and expectations.
I hope your family will always be full of abundance and hope in the new year.
2024 was a year when we ran tirelessly to protect the health of children and adolescents despite the collapse of the pediatric medical system.
2024 was the year of the outbreak of various childhood infectious diseases such as COVID-19, flu, whooping cough, mycoplasma, and RSV.
Child and adolescent diseases, including infectious diseases, will make it very difficult for our children and medical staff at pediatric hospitals to treat them in the new year following 2024.
The bigger problem is that despite the collapse of the pediatric medical system, the government is still looking at the collapsed pediatric medical system as if it were not looking across the river.
The Future of Korea, Korean children are struggling with only old pediatricians left in the outbreak of childhood infections and chronic diseases that destroy families. Not long ago, even a child's death from whooping cough occurred. In 2025, we need to come up with measures to give hope to young parents and children in need. The first thing to do is to come up with measures to save children's lives. Hopeful 2025 should start like that.
Powerful adults from the government and the National Assembly should step up.
The only policy that can solve the pediatric health care system is to separate pediatric health care policies by establishing a pediatric-only organization, or pediatric-adolescent medical department, at the Ministry of Health and Welfare.The establishment of pediatric and adolescent medical departments in government organizations has been thoroughly neglected by adult-centered medical policies. Instability in the supply and demand of essential medicines for children, errors in childhood disease statistics, and the breakdown of the ability to respond to infectious diseases in children and adolescents are all due to powerful adults who have been turning a blind eye to the special situation of children and adolescents.
Children's problems cannot be found from an adult's eye level. This is why low birth rate measures and medical policies for children and adolescents have failed thoroughly.
The country and the future of adults depend on children. Who will hold my hand if parents who can't raise their children can't move because they're old and can't hold a bowl of rice with their own hands?
More than 120 pediatric and adolescent hospitals nationwide will always be with children and adolescents in 2025.
I sincerely ask the government and the National Assembly to do their duty and mission given to protect children from diseases in 2025.
I sincerely hope that the government and the National Assembly will make a year in 2025 for young people without voting rights and for the future of the Republic of Korea, putting everything down and devoting responsibility only to the health of our children and adolescents.
Children and adolescents are the centennial generation of our country.
I wish everyone good health and laughter and I sincerely hope that we all have a happy 2025.
