Chung-Ang University Gwangmyeong Hospital (Hospital Director Lee Chul-hee) is promoting organ transplantation through multidisciplinary medical staff such as nephrology, vascular surgery, urology, intensive care medicine, anesthesiology pain medicine, neurology, and neurosurgery with skilled experience and expertise in transplantation. To this end, an intensive kidney transplant treatment system has been established and has the highest success rate for kidney transplants. Patients' satisfaction is also very high as an optimized system from the operating room to the ward and active management through organ transplant coordinators.

The hospital was designated as a cardiopulmonary and soy sauce organ transplant medical institution and registration institution by the Ministry of Health and Welfare in April 2022, and in March of the following year, it was designated as a kidney organ transplant medical institution and registration institution. In addition, it signed an MOU with the Korea Organ Donation Institute in November 2022, and in December, it was designated as a brain-dead medical institution. Since then, 16 brain-dead people have been discovered in a short period of time, and five of them have agreed to donate organs, actively promoting brain-dead kidney transplants and living kidney transplants.

Kim (55, female), who recently performed a living kidney transplant, said, `Before the transplant consultation, it was too difficult to make a decision about the transplant due to vague fear that the kidney would function properly if the kidney was donated to the son"However, I was able to feel trust and trust through prompt consultation between professional medical staff and organ transplant coordinators. " Currently, Kim and his son and mother are recovering quickly after successful surgery.



Chung-Ang Daegwangmyeong Hospital once again proved rapid and clear advanced medical technology and patient-centered specialized medical services through a number of successful kidney transplants, and plans to continue to work to provide the best medical services to more patients in the future.
