Chilgok Kyungpook National University Hospital collaborated on the 'Introduction of Korean Rehabilitation Medicine' project in Kazakhstan, which began with the president's visit to Central Asia in 2019. Through this, it has contributed to the establishment of Korean rehabilitation medicine departments and curriculum legislation at medical universities across Kazakhstan, and has played an important role in establishing a local rehabilitation medical system in various ways, such as consulting on the establishment of a local rehabilitation hospital, improving the insurance system, and establishing a support system for the disabled.
Professor Jeong Tae-doo said in his acceptance speech "This year has been 10 years since we started cooperation in rehabilitation medicine in Kazakhstan. It is very meaningful that the Korean Department of Rehabilitation Medicine will take root in the region. "This award is not an individual achievement, but rather a result of the joint efforts of hospital members and related organizations, and we will continue to strive for the development of education and medical systems for the socially disadvantaged in Central Asia."
This award is an example of the positive impact of the Korean rehabilitation medicine model throughout Central Asia, and it is even more meaningful as an example of international health cooperation.
