Hallym University Medical Center and Vietnam Promote Joint Research on Antibiotic Resistance...Collaboration on digital healthcare and robot surgery
Apr 18, 2025
Hallym University Medical Center (Director Kim Yong-sun) and Vietnam 175th Army Hospital have agreed to cooperate with each other to solve the global antibiotic resistance problem.
The Hallym University Medical Center recently held a launching ceremony for the 「Korea-Vietnam Global Antibiotic Resistance Joint Research」 with Vietnam 175 Military Hospital at Ilsong Culture Hall on the 5th floor of the 2nd annex of Hallym University Sacred Heart Hospital in Anyang, Gyeonggi-do.
The inauguration ceremony was attended by internal and external guests such as Kim Hyung-soo, head of the International Academic Committee of Hallym University Medical Center, Kim Yong-kyun, head of the Hallym International Antibiotic Resistance Center, Vice President Bui Duc Thanh, Vietnam 175 Military Hospital, and Nguyen Phuong Thao, head of the infectious medicine department.
Hallym University Medical Center will conduct a joint study with Vietnam's 175th Army Hospital based on the accumulated medical data and clinical research contents and the international network of antibiotic resistance experts.
◇'Development of a personalized antibiotic treatment artificial intelligence model' Promotion of joint research
The World Health Organization (WHO) has defined antibiotic resistance as one of the 10 risks that threaten human survival. According to the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), more than 5 million people die annually worldwide from antibiotic-resistant bacteria, and the number will rise to 10 million by 2050.
In response, Hallym University Medical Center will work with Vietnam's 175th Army Hospital to develop a personalized antibiotic treatment artificial intelligence (AI) model and conduct research on combined antibiotic treatment, starting with the Hallym International Antibiotic Resistance Center.
The Hallym International Antibiotic Resistance Center, which opened in November 2024, is centered on Kim Yong-kyun, director of the center, specialized medical staff in various fields such as infectious medicine, cardiovascular thoracic surgery, respiratory medicine, and diagnostic laboratory medicine, and Hallym University's Artificial Intelligence Convergence Department, Data Science Department, Semiconductor and Display School, BioIt is a multidisciplinary convergence research center that specializes in antibiotic resistance consisting of medical departments and microbiology classes at medical schools. Since its opening, it has been conducting precision antibiotic therapy research, pathogen bio-big data construction, and international antibiotic resistance research networks.
Prior to the start of joint research, Hallym University Medical Center has been conducting training for two medical staff from Vietnam's 175th Army Hospital's microbiology department since March 19.
◇ Broad exchanges such as digital healthcare, robotic surgery, and burn treatment
Hanlim University Medical Center introduced the central centers of Hallym University Sacred Heart Hospital, Hallym University Gangnam Sacred Heart Hospital, and Hallym University Hangang Sacred Heart Hospital to medical staff at Vietnam's 175th Army Hospital from March 20 to 21 and discussed joint research projects.
Hallym University Medical Center introduced 'Dohun Digital Medical Innovation Research Institute (DIDIM)' located at Hallym University Sacred Heart Hospital to officials at 175 military hospitals in Vietnam and explained cutting-edge medical technologies such as AI, virtual reality (VR), data, and robotics that are being used in actual clinical settings. The Doheon Digital Medical Innovation Research Institute is a space where faculty and staff, including medical staff, and external professional companies collaborate with the aim of digital innovation in medical technology. Future medical technologies such as the Data Lake cloud platform 'HERO' for multi-center convergence research based on medical data are being actively developed in the research institute.
The 'Hanlim Robot Artificial Joint Education Center" at Hallim University's Gangnam Sacred Heart Hospital introduced knee and hip robot artificial joint surgery systems and provided medical staff training experiences. The 'Hanlim Robot Artificial Joint Education Center', the first Korean medical institution to train robot artificial joint surgery, has trained more than 300 orthopedic surgeons at home and abroad from December 2021 to the present.
In addition, the cervical apoptosis clinic at the High-Risk Maternal and Child Care Center at Hallim University Gangnam Sacred Heart Hospital, the only university hospital, shared cervical suture and treatment experiences to prevent premature birth. The Hallym University Gangnam Sacred Heart Hospital's cervical incapacity clinic has performed more than 6,500 cervical occlusions to date, including 850 cases of ultra-high-level surgery called 「Double cervical occlusal cervical occlusal」. In addition, it operates the world's largest biobank and is studying the causes, diagnosis, and treatment of cervical achalasia.
After that, he visited the burn center at Hallym University Han Kang Sungsim Hospital and shared Korea's trauma treatment knowledge and treatment methods. Hallym University Han River Sacred Heart Hospital is the only university hospital designated by the Ministry of Health and Welfare to have the largest burn center in Korea. The robot rehabilitation treatment center linked to burn treatment provides specialized rehabilitation treatment programs through wearable rehabilitation robots such as Shuba and Morning Walk, and has the largest hyperbaric oxygen treatment center in Korean university hospitals.
"Based on the research experience of the Hallym International Antibiotic Resistance Center, Hallym University Medical Center plans to continue its research to overcome the global crisis of antibiotic resistance with Vietnam's 175th Army Hospital," said Kim Yong-kyun, head of the center in charge of joint research. "Vietnam also has a serious problem of antibiotic resistance, and will share the latest medical technologies needed by local medical staff, while supporting the Korea-Vietnam joint research project organized by the Ministry of Science and ICT based on joint research."
