[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-joo] Handok and the Korea Hospital Association announced on the 26th that they have selected Shin Hyun-dae, director of Sejong Chungnam National University Hospital, as the recipient of the '19th Handok Academic Management Award.'

The Handok Academic Management Award is jointly established by Handok and the Korea Hospital Association and has been awarded annually since 2004 to medical professionals who have contributed to the improvement of public health care and the development of hospital management.

He was also recognized for his contributions to regional health improvement through support projects for infectious disease-dedicated hospitals and screening clinics to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Director Shin has actively participated in hospital management and contributed to the development of hospitals and medical care in Korea by serving as head of the Orthopedics Department at Chungnam National University Hospital, director of the Referral Center, director of Planning and Coordination, director of Medical Affairs, head of the Regional Rheumatism and Degenerative Arthritis Center, and the 2nd director of Sejong Chungnam National University Hospital. He is especially an authority in pediatric orthopedics, having researched and developed new surgical and non-surgical treatment methods for correcting and lengthening bone deformities caused by congenital malformations or fractures in children, achieving both clinical treatment results and academic accomplishments.

The award ceremony will be held on the 29th at COEX, where a prize of 10 million KRW and the Yakyeontap will be presented.
