[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] The ‘Chaeum’ lecture, which quenches the humanities thirst of families and patients at Hwasun Jeonnam National University Hospital, was recently held simultaneously online and offline in the hospital auditorium.

According to Hwasun Jeonnam National University Hospital on the 9th, the Chaeum lecture is a unique humanities lecture prepared to enhance employee competence and cultivate a culture of respect and consideration.

In fact, the Hwasun Vaccine Industry Special Zone grew more than twice in 10 years, from 13 resident companies and sales of 175.8 billion won in 2011 to 27 companies and 504.5 billion won in 2019.

Professor Park also suggested directions for the development of the regional medical industry, including Hwasun Jeonnam National University Hospital, the biomedical industry, and the National Advanced Medical Complex.

He proposed, “The advanced medical complex supported by the government must be attracted to Hwasun, Jeonnam,” adding, “The Jeonnam-type advanced medical complex can realize the scientification of the healing healing park industry that combines advanced healing and immune enhancement by providing full-cycle medical services through industry-academia-research-hospital linkage centered on the world-class Hwasun Jeonnam National University Hospital.”

Professor Park served as the 16th Presidential Transition Committee member, Information Science and Technology Advisor to President Roh Moo-hyun, and Policy Research Committee member of the Korea Federation of Science and Technology Societies.
