[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Daedong Hospital has been selected as a ‘Busan Leading Medical Tourism Institution’ by Busan City and the Busan Economic Promotion Agency.

Daedong Hospital announced on the 18th that it received the designation certificate at the ‘2020 Busan Leading Medical Tourism Institutions and Busan Overseas Patient Attraction Companies Meeting’ held on the 15th.

The meeting was attended by about 50 representatives from medical institutions and overseas patient attraction companies in the Busan area, including Park Sang-hee, team leader of Daedong Hospital’s International Medical Center.

Following the certificate awarding ceremony for the designation as a leading medical tourism institution in Busan, the event continued with exchanges between medical institutions and attraction companies, an introduction to Gimhae Airport Information Center and concierge support projects, and presentations on Busan medical tourism overseas promotion bases.

Earlier this year, Busan City and the Busan Economic Promotion Agency selected a total of 24 medical institutions as Busan Leading Medical Tourism Institutions through a review process targeting medical institutions with outstanding performance in attracting foreign patients and promoting medical tourism projects, in accordance with Article 5 of the ‘Ordinance on the Activation of Medical Tourism in Busan City,’ to improve the level of regional medical services and revitalize the foreign patient attraction business.

Due to the sudden COVID-19 outbreak, the awarding of the certificates was delayed, and the ceremony was held belatedly. Medical institutions designated as Busan Leading Medical Tourism Institutions, including Daedong Hospital, Busan National University Hospital, Kosin University Gospel Hospital, Dong-A University Hospital, Southeastern Radiation Medical Center, Haeundae Paik Hospital, and Joeun Gangan Hospital, will receive support for participation in Busan medical tourism public projects and overseas marketing events, with the designation period lasting two years.

Park Kyung-hwan, director of Daedong Hospital, said, “It seems that the good results came from various promotional activities to widely publicize Busan, which has beautiful seas and attractive tourist destinations, as a regional medical institution to attract overseas patients and spread excellent medical technology,” adding, “Although the situation is difficult, we will continue to make various efforts to practice medical skills without borders and contribute to revitalizing the local economy and medical development.”

Daedong Hospital has been selected for two consecutive years for Busan City projects such as overseas patient sharing medical support and overseas doctor training projects, and is conducting continuous medical exchanges with Mongolia, a friendly cooperative city of Busan.

Through the International Medical Center for foreign patients, Daedong Hospital operates specialized medical centers in various fields such as the Comprehensive Health Checkup Center, Joint and Spine Center, Cardiovascular Center, Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Center, and Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery Center to improve satisfaction among overseas medical tourists.
