Suncheonhyang University Central Medical Center (Director Seo Yoo-sung) announced on the 17th that it has recently won the '2025 International Hospital Federation (IHF) Grand Hospital Award' held in Geneva, Switzerland.
Founded in 1929, the International Hospital Federation (IHF) is the world's largest hospital consultative body and annually selects and awards hospitals that have been recognized for innovation and contribution. The award was established in 2015 under the sponsorship of Dr. Kim Kwang-tae, and is presented to hospitals around the world by comprehensively evaluating innovative development, outstanding performance, and social contribution. In Korea, Severance Hospital and Myongji Hospital have won the 'Dr. Kim Kwang-tae' award in the past.
More than 700 hospitals from 37 countries participated in fierce competition this year, and Suncheonhyang University's Central Medical Center was honored for its excellence in various fields, including the introduction of advanced medical technology, innovation of patient-centered treatment systems, and community health promotion activities. This 'Honorable Moment' award is evaluated as a feat that shows that Suncheonhyang University Central Medical Center has achieved remarkable growth in the global medical community.
Special President Shin Eung-jin said, `This award is a fruit of the dedication of all faculty and staff and the trust of the patients.' Under the founding philosophy of the Medical Center of Soonchunhyang University, under the concept of 'beneficial to the world through human skills', we will continue to provide world-class medical services to domestic and foreign patients, fulfill social responsibilities, and lead a sustainable healthcare model to contribute to the promotion of human health" he said.
Meanwhile, Suncheonhyang University Central Medical Center is challenging the establishment of a new hospital by submitting a business plan to the package-type development project to attract Dongtan 2 New Town General Hospital. The new hospital plans to specialize in cancer, cardiovascular, emergency, pediatric, and women's medicine, and to lead future medical care by establishing advanced smart medical systems such as AI and precision medical care. In particular, the plan is to complete the triangular axis of medical, research, and education by linking Dongtan with four affiliated hospitals in Seoul, Bucheon, Cheonan, and Gumi, and develop it into an `AI Medical Learning City' in which medical treatment, research, and education are organically connected.
