The university emphasized that this rally will be an occasion to reaffirm the determination to establish a College of Medicine at Changwon National University, the only national higher education institution in Changwon Special City, Gyeongnam, to guarantee the right to life and health of 3.3 million Gyeongnam residents and 1.04 million Changwon citizens, and to declare the united strength and will of the university and local community.

President Lee and Alumni Association President Kim explained, “Among non-capital metropolitan cities with a population of over one million, Changwon is the only area without a College of Medicine,” adding, “This has caused serious social problems such as regional medical imbalance, shortage of essential medical personnel, and the outflow of outstanding local talent.”

They continued, “The best solution to resolve this issue is to establish the National Changwon University College of Medicine, which has been steadily planned and promoted since 1992,” and said, “Together with the residents of Gyeongnam and Changwon citizens, we must achieve the establishment of the College of Medicine this time.”
