[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] “We will accelerate the long-cherished project of constructing a new hospital, and do our best to provide the best medical services to the local residents by establishing state-of-the-art medical equipment and the best medical staff.”

Kim Kyungjong, director of Chosun University Hospital, expressed this strong determination regarding the new hospital construction during a non-face-to-face inauguration ceremony held via video.

Since his appointment as the 24th director of Chosun University Hospital in December last year, Director Kim has devoted himself to preventing the spread of in-hospital infections amid the spread of COVID-19 variants, conducting the inauguration ceremony non-face-to-face without official events such as inviting external guests.

Through the online inauguration ceremony, he conveyed his gratitude and respect to the faculty and staff who are doing their best in their respective positions despite the long-lasting and challenging COVID-19 response situation.

He also did not forget to express his thanks to former director Jeong Jonghoon and the executive team.

He then mentioned the new hospital construction, a matter of interest on the occasion of the hospital’s 51st anniversary.

Director Kim stated, “We will concretize the direction of the long-cherished project of constructing a new hospital and proceed swiftly. We recognize this not as a choice but as a matter of survival, and all members of the school foundation, university, and hospital will prepare together in one mind through collaboration with related experts.”

Furthermore, he emphasized, “We will strengthen an organizational culture of communication and harmony beyond occupations and generations, and introduce state-of-the-art medical equipment and facilities including the Da Vinci robotic surgical system. We will actively participate in public medical projects, national projects, and medical volunteer work to contribute to the healthy lives of local residents and the development of the hospital.”

On this day, a plaque of appreciation was also presented to former director Jeong Jonghoon.

In his farewell speech, former director Jeong said, “I believe that the early groundbreaking of the regional infectious disease specialized hospital and the construction of the new hospital will be the cornerstone of the hospital’s future development. I ask for the cooperation of all faculty and staff and look forward to the new leap of the new director Kim and the executive team.”

In addition, Kim Isu, chairman of Chosun University, Min Youngdon, president of Chosun University, Lee Yongseop, mayor of Gwangju Metropolitan City, Park Yuhwan, president of the Gwangju Medical Association, Seo Jongok, president of the Chosun University College of Medicine Alumni Association, and Lee Minsu, president of the Chosun University General Alumni Association, sent their best wishes for the development of Chosun University Hospital through videos, delivering messages of thanks to the former director and congratulations to the new director.
