Nov 10, 2025
Gyeongsang National University Hospital (Hospital Director Ahn Sung-ki) announced on the 10th that the 「Regional Responsible Medical Institution Facility and Equipment Support Project" promoted by the Ministry of Health and Welfare recently passed the Gyeongsangnam-do Provincial Investment Review and finally approved it.
This project is a large-scale public medical infrastructure investment project that aims to strengthen regional, essential, and public medical care by enhancing the capacity of regional responsible medical institutions to treat severe and high-level diseases, with a total project cost of 24.6 billion won (3 years (2025-2027), 40% of national expenditure, 40% of provincial expenditure, and 20% of self-burden).
In particular, Gyeongsangnam-do's 40% support for the project cost is a symbol of active support and cooperation to create an essential medical foundation in the region and establish a regional responsible medical system.
Through this project, Gyeongsang National University Hospital plans to significantly strengthen its severe and high-level medical capabilities by expanding and renovating the ▲ intensive care unit (ICU) (strengthening the capacity to treat critically ill patients, including negative pressure isolation beds, respond to infections, and expand intensive care functions) ▲ Expanding the center for severe eye diseases (strengthening the foundation for severe eye diseases and high-risk eye surgery) ▲ Introducing additional state-of-the-art robotic surgery equipment, including Da Vinci SP (improving precision of high-level surgery and shortening the patient recovery period).
As a result, Gyeongsang National University Hospital is expected to further solidify its role as the final treatment institution for severe and emergency medical care as a responsible medical institution in the Gyeongnam region, and further expand the foundation for establishing an essential regional medical system, such as resolving medical vulnerabilities, strengthening medical cooperation systems with local hospitals, and fostering public medical professionals.
Ahn Sung-ki, the head of the hospital, said, `I believe that Gyeongsangnam-do's full support, including the passing of the local investment screening, is a meaningful fruit to protect the lives and safety of local residents"As Gyeongsangnam-do and the Ministry of Health and Welfare helped together, Gyeongsang National University Hospital will take the lead in treating severe and emergency patients, responding to infectious diseases, and closing the regional medical gap. We will continue to develop into a regional medical institution trusted by local residents through continuous expansion of medical infrastructure and improvement of medical quality." he said.
