This project, announced by the Ministry of Health and Welfare from December 26, 2023, to January 18, 2024, targets general hospitals nationwide. It supports the personnel expenses of education-dedicated nurses responsible for training nurses working in intensive care units, operating rooms, emergency rooms, stroke and high-risk maternity intensive care units, aiming to cultivate skilled nurses in essential medical fields.

A total of 84 medical institutions were selected for this project, including 41 located in the metropolitan area and 43 outside the metropolitan area. In the Busan area, besides Daedong Hospital, a total of 10 medical institutions were selected, including Gwanghye Hospital, Dongnam Regional Radiation Medical Center, Centum General Hospital, Inje University Haeundae Paik Hospital, Ilsin Christian Hospital, and Joeun Gangan Hospital.

The Ministry of Health and Welfare will select and support 239 education-dedicated nurses affiliated with these 84 medical institutions through this announcement. They are expected to contribute to cultivating skilled nurses by providing systematic education to approximately 8,100 nurses working in the intensive care units, operating rooms, emergency rooms, and intensive care units of the respective medical institutions.

Daedong Hospital has two nurses selected as support targets: education-dedicated nurses and intensive care unit education-dedicated nurses. Medical institutions selected for this project will be provided with standard education programs for adult and pediatric intensive care patients and emergency patients (adult and pediatric) developed by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, along with various specialized education and consulting services.

Jung Mi-jin, Head of Nursing at Daedong Hospital, said, "We expect that participation in this project will be an opportunity to raise the level of nursing services provided to local residents by one step." She added, "Especially through the recently expanded Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Center, we will do our best to strengthen nursing education to provide higher-level intensive care nursing services to patients with high severity admitted to the intensive care unit."

In addition to participating in this public project, Daedong Hospital operates a separate nursing education team under the nursing department, focusing on strengthening specialized nursing education such as education-dedicated nurses for integrated nursing and care service wards and fostering excellent nursing personnel, receiving favorable reviews from local residents for providing high-quality nursing services.
