This inspection was carried out to preemptively identify risk factors by checking the status of construction progress, key process milestones, and preparedness for potential disasters such as heavy rainfall during the summer season. The mayor of Paju and relevant public officials attended the site, received updates from the construction company regarding the site development and apartment construction status, and directly inspected major worksites.

The "Paju Medical Cluster Development Project" is a large-scale initiative to develop a comprehensive medical facility, an innovative medical research complex (including the National Cancer Center’s Future Innovation Center), a bio-convergence complex, and apartment housing on a site of approximately 450,000 square meters located at 432 Seopae-dong, Paju. In October last year, work began on the site development and the construction of 3,250 apartment units, with the goal of completion set for 2028.

The purpose of this project is to expand comprehensive medical infrastructure within the region, enhance healthcare accessibility for Paju residents, and establish a biohealth industrial ecosystem that integrates medical care, research, and industry. It is a key strategic initiative aimed at strengthening Paju’s self-sufficiency.

Paju Medical Cluster Co., Ltd., the project developer, began accepting applications to attract a general hospital in November last year. Applications will be accepted until the end of June this year, and the final hospital selection will be made following the identification of a preferred bidder and the signing of a business agreement in the second half of the year.

A Paju city official stated, "We will thoroughly manage on-site safety and ensure the project proceeds according to the planned schedule without any setbacks."
