The business agreement, signed at Dong-A ST headquarters in Yongdu-dong, Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul, was established to spread K-medical technology to Vietnamese medical professionals by combining Dong-A ST's medical knowledge content with KT's IT technology. According to the agreement, Dong-A ST will provide medical knowledge content from its medical knowledge sharing platform ‘Mediflix’ to KT's medical education platform and support KT's production of new proprietary content.
