Dankook University Hospital Launches Public Healthcare Headquarters... Establishing Cooperative System Among Medical Institutions

Chungnam Province and Dankook University Hospital held the inauguration ceremony of the Public Medical Headquarters at Dankook University Hospital (Regional Responsible Medical Institution).

Chungnam Province and Dankook University Hospital announced on the 9th that they held the inauguration ceremony for the “Dankook University Hospital (Regional Responsible Medical Institution) Public Healthcare Headquarters” and will officially begin operations.

Dankook University Hospital, which was newly designated as the regional responsible medical institution for the Chungnam area in the public contest hosted by the Ministry of Health and Welfare last March, held the inauguration ceremony after a four-month preparation period. The Public Healthcare Headquarters will be responsible for providing high-level essential medical services and planning and coordinating cooperation systems among medical institutions within the region.

Dankook University Hospital plans to form an essential medical consultative body through the newly established Public Healthcare Headquarters and build a regional public healthcare cooperation system by linking various government-designated centers (such as emergency, trauma, cerebrovascular and cardiovascular disease centers) and local public health institutions.

As a regional responsible medical institution, the hospital will focus on projects such as connecting discharged patients to community services, cooperation in the transfer, referral, and treatment of severe emergency and trauma cases, collaboration for mental health promotion, and cooperation for rehabilitation and continuous care.

Kim Jaeil, the hospital director, said, “As the regional responsible medical institution for Chungnam, we will cooperate with five local responsible medical institutions and public agencies to balance essential and regional healthcare, and we aim to become the central hospital for public healthcare that connects people, health, and the community.”
