Severance Children's Hospital is the result of your love and support

Severance Children’s Hospital is a result of the love and support given by many people for the specialist medical care of child and adolescent diseases.

The Child and Adolescent Department’s professors have insisted on the necessity for a specialist hospital for children since 1983. The Child and Adolescent Department, as well as our graduates and professors engaged in children-related areas, then ran a fund-raising campaign and deducted a certain percentage from their own salaries for contributions in 1991. In the end, Severance Children’s Hospital was created in June 2006, as the result of such constant love and support.

Severance Children’s Hospital will always care about children and adolescents, with the goal of giving “meticulous care for children and adolescents through the hand of God's love.” We will also work hard to prevent and treat diseases in children and adolescents, while contributing to making all children and adolescents in the world, as well as in Korea, healthy members of a society who can share love and support.
