고위험 산모·신생아 "분만하려면 도외 병원으로"
Jeju’s obstetric infrastructure is deteriorating as the Seohae Obstetrics & Gynecology hospital will close, leaving only five hospitals able to handle deliveries. Over the past two and a half years, 34 out of 346 emergency births required helicopter transport to mainland hospitals due to NICU shortages and high‑risk pregnancies. Officials plan to expand neonatal intensive care capacity and upgrade hospitals, but the shortage remains a pressing concern.
- ▪The Seohae Obstetrics & Gynecology hospital, which handled 27% of Jeju’s births, will close by the end of August, reducing available delivery sites to five.
- ▪Only six hospitals in Jeju can perform deliveries, and one of them, Hallah Hospital, accepts only pre‑scheduled C‑section cases.
- ▪During a 2‑year‑5‑month period, 34 of 346 emergency deliveries (9.9%) were transferred by fire‑department helicopters to mainland hospitals.
- ▪The primary reasons for out‑of‑province transfers were NICU bed shortages and pregnancies under 30 weeks that required high‑risk care.
- ▪Jeju University Hospital has been designated a regional medical center with five high‑risk maternal beds, but its NICU remains at 16 beds and is at capacity.

강정범 의원 "2년반 동안 응급분만 34건 소방헬기로 이송" 도내 분만 가능한 병원 5곳 불과...분만 인프라 붕괴 단계 8월 말에 폐원하는 제주시 일도2동 소재 서해산부인과 신생아실 모습. 강정범 의원 제주지역 전체 분만 건수의 27%를 담당해온 서해산부인과가 8월 말 폐원을 하면서 분만 인프라가 악화되고 있다. 27일 제주도의회 예산결산특별위원회의 추경안 심사에서 강정범 의원(더불어민주당·오라동)은 “지난해 도내 신생아 3285명 중 27%인 870명이 서해산부인과에서 출산했는데, 폐원을 앞두면서 제주가 분만 사각지대에 놓였다”고 밝혔다. 강 의원은 “제주에서 분만 가능한 의료기관은 6곳이지만 한라병원은 사전 예약된 제왕절개 임신부만 받으면서 분만 가능한 병원은 5곳에 불과하다”며 “이 정도면 분만 인프라가 붕괴 단계에 접어든 것이다”고 지적했다. 또한 2024년부터 2026년 5월까지 2년 5개월 동안 총 346건의 응급분만 가운데 34건(9.9%)은 소방헬기를 이용해 도외 병원으로 이송됐다. 강 의원은 “도외 이송 사유의 절반은 신생아중환자실 부족과 30주 미만 고위험 임산부, 수술 불가가 주요 원인으로 나타났다”고 밝혔다. 제주대학교병원은 최근 권역모자의료센터로 지정돼 고위험 산모 치료시설은 5병상이 설치되지만, 신생아중환자실은 기존 16병상 그대로여서 포화상태가 이어지고 있다. 미숙아 등이 태어날 경우 일부 신생아는 도외 이송이 불가피한 실정이다.
