[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-joo] Shin Hyun-guk, chairman of Geo Element, donated 100 million KRW to Chung-Ang University Medical Center for the construction of Chung-Ang University Gwangmyeong Hospital, which is scheduled to open next month.

On the 7th, Chung-Ang University Medical Center held a development fund donation ceremony at Chung-Ang University Hospital attended by Park Sang-gyu, president of Chung-Ang University, Hong Chang-kwon, director of Chung-Ang University Medical Center, and Chairman Shin.

Last year, Chairman Shin expressed his gratitude to the faculty and staff of Chung-Ang University Medical Center who worked hard for COVID-19 prevention and treatment by donating 3,200 sets of functional mask packs through his affiliate Geo & Wiz. This time, he delivered 100 million KRW to support the successful opening of Chung-Ang University Gwangmyeong Hospital.

Chairman Shin, who graduated from Chung-Ang University’s Department of Chemistry and founded Geo Element, a semiconductor equipment and parts manufacturer, in 2005, is currently serving as the 16th president of the Chung-Ang University Alumni Association, working hard for the development of his alma mater. Additionally, since July last year, he has been co-chairman of the ‘Chung-Ang Medical Innovation Committee,’ launched jointly by Chung-Ang University and the Medical Center, actively engaging in the mid- to long-term development of the university and medical center.

At the donation ceremony, Chairman Shin said, "Although it is a small contribution, I am honored to be able to support my alma mater and Chung-Ang University Gwangmyeong Hospital, which is set to open in March," adding, "I expect the opening of Chung-Ang University Gwangmyeong Hospital to play a key role not only in the leap forward of Chung-Ang University Medical Center but also in the advancement of Korea’s medical industry."

Hong Chang-kwon, director of Chung-Ang University Medical Center, stated, "We will do our best to become an excellent hospital that contributes to Korean healthcare through thorough preparations so as not to disappoint the expectations of everyone supporting Chung-Ang University Gwangmyeong Hospital."
