Daedong Hospital Selected in 3 Categories for Busan City and Busan Economic Promotion Agency Medical Tourism Public Contest

Daedong Hospital was selected in three categories of the medical tourism-related public contest projects conducted by Busan City and the Busan Economic Promotion Agency.

Busan City and the Busan Economic Promotion Agency are actively carrying out projects to develop Busan's healthcare industry and attract foreign patients.

In May, they held contests related to projects such as the ‘2023 Busan ICT-based Foreign Patient Attraction Remote Consultation Service Establishment Project,’ the ‘2023 Mongolia Ulaanbaatar Busan Advanced Medical Technology and Medical Consultation Meeting,’ and the ‘2023 Busan Medical Interpretation Coordinator International Medical Work Field Training Project’ targeting institutions attracting foreign patients in the Busan area.

Since opening the International Medical Center in 2015, Daedong Hospital has actively engaged with Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, a sister city of Busan, resulting in being selected in three categories of the public contest projects by Busan City and the Busan Economic Promotion Agency.

As the first step of the project, on July 5, International Medical Center Director Kim Young-jun, along with Park Sang-hee, Head of External Cooperation Team, and Shin Jun-han, Medical Tourism Coordinator, will participate in a medical consultation meeting in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, to promote Busan’s excellent advanced medical technology.

Seven medical institutions, including Busan National University Hospital, Kosin University Gospel Hospital, Haeundae Paik Hospital, and the Southeastern Regional Radiation Medical Center, as well as three patient attraction businesses, were selected for this project.

Additionally, during the same period as the medical consultation meeting, an ICT-based remote consultation service establishment project will be conducted to open a remote medical clinic at the Mongolia Railway Hospital. Three medical institutions, including Daedong Hospital, Busan National University Hospital, and the Southeastern Regional Radiation Medical Center, were selected for this project.

Director Kim Young-jun said, “Daedong Hospital has a deep connection with Mongolia, having invited a young man injured by a gunshot in Mongolia in 2019 for limb preservation surgery and conducted training for Mongolian medical staff. Taking this opportunity to participate in the project, we will continue various activities to promote Busan’s advanced medical technology worldwide.”
