[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Mokpo National University (President Park Min-seo) announced on the 23rd that it greatly welcomes the plan to actively promote the establishment of a medical school in Jeollanam-do, as announced after the Democratic Party and government consultation on the ‘Plan to Expand Medical School Quotas and Promote the Establishment of Public Medical Schools.’

Until now, Jeonnam Province has been a medically underserved area with very high medical demand, but without a medical school, residents have experienced many inconveniences and difficulties in accessing advanced medical services. With the announcement of this party-government consultation plan, the long-standing regional wish is expected to be resolved.

The faculty and staff of Mokpo National University, who have been striving to establish a medical school for 30 years since 1990, stated, “As a prepared national university that has completed various attraction activities and feasibility studies, we will do our best to establish a medical school in cooperation with Jeollanam-do and other local governments.”

President Park Min-seo of Mokpo National University said, “Through the establishment of a medical school in Jeonnam, we will do our best to provide high-quality medical services to medically underserved areas and create a happy Jeollanam-do.”
