According to Korea University Anam Hospital on August 22, Kuy Monta and San Kamseang, doctors from Luang Me Hospital in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, participated in the training. From June 2, they spent about three months observing clinical practice and engaging in academic and research programs in the Departments of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine and Pathology.


The completion ceremony was held in the headquarters conference room of Anam Hospital, attended by Professor Yoon Seungjoo from the Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine, who served as a supervising professor, as well as Professors Ahn Sangjung, Kang Youngjin, Kim Yesle, Oh Harim, and Sung Yuna from the Department of Pathology.


The 'Global Hooi Fellowship' is an international social contribution project of Korea University Medical Center. Its goal is to improve healthcare standards and establish sustainable medical systems in developing countries by transferring advanced medical technologies. In celebration of the 100th anniversary of the College of Medicine in 2028, Korea University Medical Center plans to support training for a total of 100 medical professionals from developing countries.


Yoon Eulsik, Executive Vice President and Director of the Medical Center, stated, "Following the 'Global Hooi Life-Love Project,' which treated 100 patients from developing countries, we are now working to strengthen the capabilities of medical professionals through the 'Global Hooi Fellowship.' We will continue to carry on the spirit of respect for life embodied by Rosetta Hall and contribute to the advancement of global medicine."


Han Seungbeom, Director of Anam Hospital, said, "Although we have supported the provision of medical devices through international health projects, there have been limitations due to a lack of clinical practice. Through clinical training programs like this, we hope that medical professionals from developing countries will be able to develop competencies that can be directly applied to patient care."



Fellows Kuy Monta and San Kamseang shared, "It was very meaningful to learn from and experience firsthand the expertise of the world-class medical staff at Korea University Hospital. Through this training, we are committed to actively contributing to the improvement of healthcare standards in Cambodia."
