Establishment of Children’s Hospitals

Since 2005, NXC has been actively engaging with pediatric wards and reflecting on the health and future of children with disabilities. In June 2013, together with Nexon and Neople, NXC signed an agreement with the Purme Foundation to begin supporting the fundraising efforts for the construction of a children’s rehabilitation hospital. In December 2014, the company pledged and donated 20 billion KRW out of the total 44 billion KRW required for construction and initial operations, contributing significantly to the establishment of the facility. In recognition of Nexon’s contribution, the hospital was officially named the “Purme Foundation Nexon Children’s Rehabilitation Hospital.” Construction began on March 26, 2014, and the hospital opened on April 28, 2016, in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul. The facility has a total floor area of 18,557.73㎡, with 7 floors above ground and 3 basement levels, offering 91 inpatient beds and 40 daytime beds. Since its opening, Nexon and NXC have continued various forms of support.

NXC, along with Nexon affiliates, also participated in establishing Korea’s first public pediatric rehabilitation hospital in the Daejeon–Sejong–Chungnam region. With a donation of 10 billion KRW from NXC and Nexon, the Nexon-supported Public Children’s Rehabilitation Hospital opened in May 2023. The hospital has 70 beds and provides services including rehabilitation medicine, pediatrics, and pediatric dentistry. It offers individualized rehabilitation treatment through specialist diagnosis and also operates educational programs such as in-hospital classrooms and public rehabilitation initiatives to improve the quality of life for children and their families. In addition, NXC is supporting the development of other regional pediatric rehabilitation facilities, including a Gyeongnam regional Nexon Children’s Rehabilitation Hospital (tentative) affiliated with Changwon Gyeongsang National University Hospital, and a Jeonnam regional Nexon Public Children’s Rehabilitation Medical Center.

In addition, The Nexon Children’s Palliative Care Center at Seoul National University Hospital was established with a 10 billion KRW donation from Nexon and NXC. It is Korea’s first independent short-term pediatric medical care facility and marked its first anniversary in November 2023. The center provides 24-hour integrated medical care for children with severe illnesses and their families, offering relief for caregivers who are burdened by long-term care. Located near Seoul National University Hospital in Jongno-gu, Seoul, it has a total floor area of 997㎡, with 1 basement level and 4 above-ground floors, and 16 beds. Patients can stay up to 7 days per admission and up to 30 days per year. Doctors are on-site, ensuring continuous medical supervision alongside nursing and care services.
