Korea University Medical Center, 4th Ancient Hospital in Dongtan...Promote future hospitals with more than 700 beds
Nov 24, 2025
Korea University Medical Center (Ministry of Medicine and Medical Center Director Yoon Eul-sik) was finally selected as the preferred bidder for the construction of a general hospital in the new city of Dongtan 2 in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi-do. As Korea University Medical Center's medical, research, and education capabilities expand in the southern part of the metropolitan area, it is expected to improve the level of local medical care as well as establish a new medical ecosystem that leads future medicine.
Hwaseong City and the Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) confirmed them as preferred negotiators by comprehensively evaluating the mid- to long-term master plan, medical operation capability, community contribution, and research and innovation strategies proposed by Korea University Medical Center. In Dongtan 2 New Town, where large hospitals were lacking despite the rapid increase in population, the decision is expected to be an important turning point in resolving the medical gap in the region.
The 「4th Dongtan University Hospital" to be built will be built as a complex medical campus that combines rehabilitation hospitals, welfare housing for the elderly, and officetels, centering on a top-notch general hospital with more than 700 beds. By organically connecting medical, welfare, and residential functions around the central square, a life-friendly medical city model will be implemented in which citizens can enjoy medical care and life naturally in their daily lives.
In particular, this hospital aims to provide a new medical experience that did not exist by fully applying future medical technologies such as AI-based medical support systems, digital twin operations, and hyper-connected smart infrastructure. In addition, it is expected to establish itself as a next-generation medical research hub where precision medical care, convergence research, and talent training capabilities are concentrated by establishing a research platform that combines clinical data, bio-health, and AI.
Umi Construction, BS Hanyang and Hyosung Heavy Industries participated in the project as construction partners, while Mirae Asset Securities and Hana Bank joined as financial partners to secure a stable foundation for implementation.
Korea University Medical Center plans to expand its research infrastructure and network of specialized centers through cooperation with Anam, Guro, and Ansan hospitals, and maximize synergy in key areas of future medicine such as AI, precision medicine, and brokerage research.
"It is very meaningful that Korea University Hospital will lead the long-awaited construction of a high-level general hospital for residents in the southern part of the Seoul metropolitan area. The 4th Dongtan University Hospital is a project that presents a future medical city model that has never existed in the world that combines research, education, and housing beyond medical treatment and care." said Yoon Eul-sik, vice president and medical director of Korea University. "We will expand the research and education capabilities of Korea University Medical Center to the next level in Dongtan to build a future medical ecosystem that grows with the region." he said.
