Korea University's Ansan Hospital held a '40th Anniversary Ceremony' at the Rosetta Hall auditorium on the basement floor of the main building on the 15th and pledged the growth of future medicine through patient-centered medical care and research innovation.
More than 200 domestic and foreign guests, including Kim Jae-ho, chairman of Korea Central Academy, Kim Dong-won, president of Korea University, Yoon Eul-sik, medical director of Korea University, Son Ho-sung, medical planning director, and Kim Hak-joon, medical research director, attended the ceremony to mark the 40th anniversary of the opening.Starting with Chairman Kim Jae-ho's commemorative speech, the opening ceremony, which began, was followed by a congratulatory speech by the head of the relevant institution, a private service ceremony, a donor's wall unveiling ceremony, and a cake cutting. Earlier, Korea University Ansan Hospital held various events such as academic events, health lectures, and cultural performances from the 4th, and after the ceremony, it will continue to hold photo exhibitions, conferences, and symposiums to add meaning to the 40th anniversary of the opening.
Korea University Ansan Hospital took its first step in 1985 with a scale of 100 beds in Ansan, Gyeonggi-do, which lacked medical infrastructure. Currently, it is growing into a 767-bed hospital and is faithfully playing the role of a medical institution specializing in severe diseases as the only senior general hospital in southwestern Gyeonggi Province. In addition, it is taking the lead in the government's restructuring project for high-level general hospitals last year, further strengthening its medical capabilities centered on severe, emergency, and rare diseases. Recently, through the first certification of research-oriented hospitals, it has established a sustainable growth foundation in the field of research.
The master plan project, which opened its first shovel in 2021, is showing tangible results through a phased promotion. Following the completion of the remodeling project of the outpatient and underground parking lot of the main building the following year, the construction of three floors of the Future Medical Center and three underground parking lots in Education-dong was completed sequentially since last year. In the future, we plan to continue close cooperation with Ansan City for the smooth implementation of the mid- to long-term master plan, such as the relocation of the outpatient treatment system.
Chairman Kim Jae-ho said in his 40th anniversary speech that `Kodaeansan Hospital has established itself as a central hospital representing the west coast beyond the southern part of the Seoul metropolitan area"Before achieving these results, we deeply appreciate the hard work of the twelve directors and the families of Ansan Hospital who have led Ansan Hospital in a dedicated manner over the past 40 years. "
President Kim Dong-won said, `Korea University aims to become a university that contributes to the future society by solving the challenges facing humanity.' `At the center of it is the innovative development of Korea University Medical Center, and the 40th anniversary of the opening of Korea University Ansan Hospital will be a more meaningful starting point.'
Director of Medical Center Yoon Eul-sik said, `Now, medical centers are being reborn as a medical community that challenges the conquest of incurable diseases by applying ultra-precise medicine"I am confident that today's ancient Ansan Hospital will be at the forefront of the great leap toward the upcoming 2028 KU Medicine 100th anniversary."
Director of the hospital Seo Dong-hoon said, `Kodaeansan Hospital has achieved rapid growth along with the local community over the past 40 years' and `We will continue to strengthen the hospital's future growth base through master plans.'
