Jan 01, 2025

Lee Sung-kyu, chairman of the Korea Hospital Association, emphasized the prompt resolution of the legislative situation, stabilization of hospital management, and reinforcement of patient safety in his New Year's address.

Chairman Lee, who stressed that it is time to confront the crisis head on, called for cooperation and change in the hospital community.

In addition, Chairman Lee said he would actively deliver policy alternatives and voices from the medical field to the government and society.






The Year of the Blue Snake has arrived in the year of hopeful 2025.

I sincerely wish your home and hospital full of health and happiness in the new year.




The past year has been a series of challenges and hardships for all of our hospital community.

The medical environment is changing rapidly, and hospital management is becoming more difficult.

However, we have always made progress, finding our way even in the midst of a crisis.




The task that the hospital community should focus on this year is to stabilize hospital management and strengthen patient safety, along with resolving the legislative situation through the prompt return of residents. The sustainable management of the hospital is directly related to the safety of patients, which is the mission of our hospital community.

As you know, there's a saying that goes, '卽 dead, 卽 dead'. Now is the time for us to go head-to-head rather than try to avoid a crisis. If the hospital community comes together and boldly changes and challenges, we will be able to overcome any difficulties.

The quality of healthcare and patient safety can never be compromised.

Accordingly, the Hospital Association will put patient safety as its top priority and will spare no support so that hospitals can operate stably even in difficult conditions.

In addition, we will present policy alternatives and actively convey the voices of the medical field to the government and society.

Like the spirit of "愚 Mountain", we will solve the problems of the hospital community one by one with Woo-gong's persistence and effort to move the mountain. Nothing will be impossible with you.

Dear hospital directors and executives and employees,

Only those who prepare for the future can make tomorrow.

This year, the Korean Hospital Association will not stop changing and innovating, and will do its best for the growth and development of the hospital community. Our journey toward "Unified Military Cooperative, Hospital trusted by the people" will continue.

In the new year, let's take a stronger and more hopeful step together.
