Samsung Changwon Hospital, Changwon's 'First' Advanced General Hospital Entry
Expecting to Alleviate Inconvenience for Changwon Citizens Traveling to Seoul, Busan, and Other Cities for Remote Medical Treatment
[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] Samsung Changwon Hospital has become the first general hospital in the district to be designated as a 4th phase tertiary hospital by the Minister of Health and Welfare.
A tertiary hospital is a general hospital that specializes in providing high-level medical services for severe diseases and is designated as a 3rd phase medical benefit institution by the Minister of Health and Welfare.
Until now, there was no tertiary hospital in Changwon, causing severe patients such as cancer patients requiring high-level treatment to seek care outside the region, resulting in significant inconvenience and economic burden for local residents.
In response, Changwon City and Samsung Changwon Hospital signed a "Business Agreement for the Development of Regional Medical Care," promising to reestablish a specialized treatment center operation system and expand medical infrastructure.
Samsung Changwon Hospital, which has been striving to enter the tertiary hospital status since 2014, has received top-grade evaluations for several years in appropriateness assessments for severe diseases such as cancer, heart disease, and stroke emergencies.
Additionally, aiming to provide medical services at the level of the metropolitan area, since 2018, it has continuously recruited renowned doctors from Samsung Seoul Hospital by utilizing a medical cooperation network with Samsung Seoul Hospital, thereby enhancing the quality of medical services.
