The Only One in the Gwangju and Jeonnam Region

Bright Eye 21 Hospital (Chief Director Kim Deok-bae) has been designated as an ophthalmology specialized hospital by the Ministry of Health and Welfare for the fifth consecutive time, the only one in the Gwangju and Jeonnam regions.

Bright Eye 21 Hospital announced on the 3rd that it was selected as one of the 11 ophthalmology specialized hospitals in the first year of the 5th term announced by the Ministry of Health and Welfare on the 29th of last month.

With this designation as an ophthalmology specialized hospital, it has maintained its status as a specialized hospital for the 5th consecutive term following the 1st term (2011?2014), 2nd term (2015?2017), 3rd term (2018?2020), and 4th term (2021?2023).

A specialized hospital is a hospital designated by the Minister of Health and Welfare that performs medical procedures with a high level of difficulty in specific diseases or medical departments.

Specialized hospitals are finally selected through document review, on-site investigation, and deliberation by the Specialized Hospital Review Committee based on seven designation criteria including patient composition ratio and medical quality evaluation.

Bright Eye 21 Hospital, which met the strict screening criteria of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, can use the title of Ministry of Health and Welfare-designated ophthalmology specialized hospital from January 1, 2024, to December 31, 2026.

Chief Director Kim Deok-bae said, “Being designated as an ophthalmology specialized hospital for five consecutive terms was possible thanks to the support of local residents and the active efforts of our staff,” and added, “We will continue to do our best to provide patients with a safe treatment environment and more specialized medical services.”

Meanwhile, Bright Eye 21 Hospital has received certification as a Ministry of Health and Welfare-designated certified medical institution for three consecutive cycles and has a specialized ophthalmology medical system subdivided by fields such as cataracts, vision correction, retina, glaucoma, and pediatric ophthalmology.
