Respectful faculty and staff!
May your family be full of happiness in the new year of the 乙巳.
2024 was an unprecedented year for the medical community. Nevertheless, the Seoul National University Hospital Group has achieved innovation and development at the group level, including the headquarters, Bundang Seoul National University Hospital, Boramae Hospital in Seoul, Gangnam Center, National Transportation Rehabilitation Hospital, and Shake Khalifa Hospital (SKSH).
Over the past year, the headquarters has been designated as a National Institute of Advanced Bio Strategic Technology, and the first to unveil the NSTRI data platform in Boston, laying the groundwork for the Korean bio industry's overseas expansion. In the United Arab Emirates, the company has re-signed SKSH three times in a row, Bundang Seoul National University Hospital has pushed for consulting on the establishment of a general hospital in Uzbekistan and a consulting on the establishment of a screening center in Los Angeles, USA, and Gangnam Center has successfully carried out a cooperation project with Vietnam's Vin Mek Examination Center. In Korea, the medical capacity of the hospital has been further strengthened by renewing contracts between Boramae Hospital and National Transportation Rehabilitation Hospital in Seoul.
All of these achievements are due to the faculty and staff who have done their best for their patients and colleagues in their respective positions. We deeply appreciate you for respecting and cooperating with each other even in difficult situations.
Dear faculty and staff, Seoul National University Hospital is the longest educational hospital in Korea that educates the best medical staff. In 2025, we plan to continue to develop while maintaining the value of vision in five areas: education, research, medical care, public health care, and organizational culture.
First, in the education sector, our hospital's mission is to strengthen the function of educational hospitals that train the best medical staff. To this end, we will focus on improving the training environment for residents by diversifying roles and securing specialist personnel to strengthen the capacity of medical support personnel.
Second, in the research sector, we will further solidify our global research network to leap to the world's best research-oriented hospital. We will promote the establishment of an independent research institute so that we can focus our capabilities on key research areas and lead the development of the national digital bio-health industry by creating global research results and supporting industrialization through the establishment of the Healthcare AI Research Institute.
Third, in the medical sector, starting with the remodeling project of the children's hospital, which marks the 40th anniversary of its opening, the construction of the temporary ward for children is the first step. We will create a future children's hospital that strengthens infection control and patient safety through the composition of rooms with less than four rooms. By strengthening the medical functions and capabilities of Seoul National University Hospital, we will be more faithful to the social calling that protects the lives of the people. In addition, the continuous expansion and remodeling of operating rooms will be completed in 2025, creating a state-of-the-art treatment environment with robot-only operating rooms and hybrid operating rooms.
Fourth, in the public medical sector, we will spare no effort to establish the identity of Seoul National University Hospital as a public medical institution. As a regional responsible medical institution, we will strengthen information sharing and support to strengthen regional complete essential medical care, and play a leading role as a final treatment role for severely ill patients and as a control tower for essential medical care. In addition, as a national policy cooperation hospital, we will contribute to improving access to universal medical care by strengthening public medical policy functions.
Fifth, in terms of organizational culture, we will create a culture in which communication and cooperation between faculty and staff are more active in an attitude of understanding and respecting each other. Few organizations will work together with many people in as diverse a field as hospitals. As a team, all faculty and staff will work together toward the common goal of treating patients suffering from diseases, increasing the value of all of us and creating a happy hospital that grows together.
Dear faculty and staff!
2025 is an important year for Seoul National University Hospital to mark the 140th anniversary of the establishment of Jejungwon as a national hospital. In addition, the Children's Hospital, which opened as the nation's first specialized children's hospital, celebrates its 40th anniversary.
After promoting the excellence of Korean medical care in the Middle East over the past decade by leading the Korean medical Korean Wave, we will promote a project to establish and operate a 250-bed general hospital in Abu Dhabi in the new year. At the same time, we plan to accelerate the opening of Baegot Seoul National University Hospital and focus all our capabilities on the successful opening of Gijang Heavy Particle Treatment Center and National Fire Hospital.
In order to fulfill the calling given to the Seoul National University Hospital Group, which has been passed down from Jejungwon in 1885, I hope that all faculty and staff at each hospital will become one in the new year by realizing core values under the new mission and vision.
Thank you again to the faculty and staff who have actively accepted and actively participated in the changes caused by the declaration of the mission and vision of the hospital group, and I hope that joy will always be with your family in the new year.
