[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Oh Kyung-seung, director of Kosin University Gospel Hospital, received a commendation from the Minister of Health and Welfare in recognition of his contributions to the health and medical industry.

The Ministry of Health and Welfare evaluated Director Oh’s achievements in stabilizing the COVID-19 response medical system by being the first in the Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam (Bu-Ul-Gyeong) region to provide medical support for the residential treatment center at Kosin University Hospital.

They also acknowledged Director Oh’s efforts in attracting overseas patients and establishing a telemedicine system based on his medical volunteer experience.

Director Oh was selected as a recipient of the commendation from the Minister of Health and Welfare on September 30.

Due to COVID-19, the award ceremony was held online, and a commemorative event was held during the hospital staff meeting in early November.

Oh Kyung-seung, a first graduate of Kosin University College of Medicine, has led overseas medical volunteer work annually since 2004, starting with Myanmar, until before the COVID-19 pandemic.

In addition, over the past 4 to 5 years, the hospital has played a leading role in establishing overseas hospital telemedicine systems in Kazakhstan, Vietnam, Mongolia, and other countries in cooperation with Busan City.

The establishment of this telemedicine system is evaluated to have played a major role in implementing non-face-to-face medical treatment during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Director Oh also led Kosin University Gospel Hospital’s U-Healthcare project, signing business agreements with domestic 4th industrial revolution companies to revitalize the smart health cluster industry and securing major national projects.

Director Oh Kyung-seung explained, “I have strived to practice the founding philosophy of the Gospel Hospital, which is service and sharing,” adding, “There have been achievements in building domestic and international medical infrastructure and developing projects that integrate medicine with the 4th industrial revolution.”

Director Oh expressed his thoughts, saying, “I will continue to seek ways to help medically vulnerable groups in the Third World without settling for the status quo.”
