Sep 29, 2025
Baegot Seoul National University Hospital, which will lead future medical care, began construction on the 29th.
This is the result of numerous processes and the help of the local community, including the signing of the establishment agreement in 2019 and passing the preliminary feasibility study of the Ministry of Strategy and Finance in 2021.
Seoul National University Hospital (Hospital President Kim Young-tae) announced that it held a groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of Baegot Seoul National University Hospital at 3 p.m. on the site of the construction of Siheung-si, Gyeonggi-do. The groundbreaking ceremony was designed to commemorate the full-fledged start of the construction of the hospital and to share a vision to strengthen essential medical care as a public medical institution growing with the community.
About 300 major domestic and foreign guests attended the event, including Seoul National University Hospital President Kim Young-tae, former hospital directors Seo Chang-seok and Kim Yeon-soo, Vice Education Minister Choi Eun-ok, Seoul National University President Yoo Hong-rim, Gyeonggi Province Governor Kim Dong-yeon, National Assemblyman Cho Jung-sik, and Siheung Mayor Lim Byung-taek.
Baegot Seoul National University Hospital will be built from the 1st basement floor to the 12th floor above the ground with a total floor area of 111,492㎡ (about 33,726 pyeong) and 800 beds, with a total project cost of about 587.2 billion won. It plans to operate 27 medical departments, including internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, and obstetrics, and six specialized centers, including cancer centers, 兒 centers, cardio-cerebrovascular centers, emergency medical centers, international medical centers, and health examination centers, to treat severe and emergency patients and provide the best medical services. The goal is to open in 2029.
Baegot Seoul National University Hospital is expected to contribute to resolving essential medical gaps in the southwestern part of Gyeonggi Province and respond to increasing national medical demand in severe and rare diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, high-risk mothers, and newborns. It is not just a branch, but a key hub that concentrates the medical, research, and educational capabilities of the Seoul National University Hospital Group, and is expected to be a base for leading convergence and complex medical research and training medical personnel who will be responsible for the national future.
The vast amount of medical information that Seoul National University Hospital has accumulated for a long time is applied to artificial intelligence and network systems. Through this, we plan to establish a public medical innovation ecosystem by preparing to provide skilled clinical services from the time of opening and strengthening cooperation models by linking infrastructure with local medical institutions.
In addition, it will strengthen its role as a high-tech hospital to develop and standardize innovative medical technologies in cooperation with the Seoul National University campus and bio-specialization complex to be established nearby. Inside the hospital, it plans to implement a future smart hospital that improves the efficiency of the medical field and patient safety by introducing automated mobility and robot logistics systems.
Siheung Mayor Lim Byung-taek said, "The opening ceremony is the moment when Siheung citizens' long-awaited project finally became a reality. The city will work closely with Seoul National University and Seoul National University Hospital to successfully complete the construction of the hospital and lead to achievements that can be felt by both citizens and the country."," he stressed.
Yoo Hong-rim, president of Seoul National University, said, "This hospital is an important milestone for Siheung Campus to grow into a leading base for future medical and bio industries. Seoul National University will open a new chapter in medical and research in Korea with Siheung City as a university that contributes to national and social development." he said.
