Exporting Our Health Checkup System to China
Our hospital, on July 21st at Yanji City’s Baek-San Hotel, concluded a consulting contract with Yanji City and Yanji Chinese Traditional Medicine Hospital for the construction of a state-of-the-art health checkup center equipped with our medical systems.
A total of 80 people participated in this event, including Seoul National University Hospital (SNUH) Healthcare System Gangnam Center’s President Sang-Heon Cho, Vice President Chan-SooChan Soo Shin, Yanji’s Assistant Mayor Kwang Suk Park, and Yanji Chinese Traditional Medicine Hospital’s President Hong Kyu Jeon.
Through this contract, our hospital will build and manage the health checkup center which is planned for construction in 2012, consult and provide information on advanced medical systems, and in return receive consulting and brand fees for five years until 2016.
SNUH Gangnam Center’s President Sang-Heon Cho stated “I am very glad that, through this agreement, we will be able to provide great medical services to the 2.2 million Korean expatriates and residents in the area,” and revealed that “It is very meaningful for SNUH to be able to help our fellow Korean expatriates, as well as our own citizens, by participating in the creation of a state-of-the-art health checkup center in the innovative and forward-thinking Yanji city.”
This consulting contract is based on the [MOU on Building and Managing a Health Checkup Center] that was concluded by the four parties of SNUH, Gangnam Center, Yanji City, and Yanji Chinese Traditional Medicine Hospital on October 11th, 2010. This contract is meaningful in providing health checkups to the Korean expatriates and residents of Yanbian whose demands for health checkups are increasing. After this contract, the staff of Yanji Chinese Traditional Medicine Hospital health checkup center will visit Korea and receive on-site training at SNUH Gangnam Center health checkup service. SNUH doctors will periodically visit Yanji City and provide information and instruction to assist Yanji Chinese Traditional Medicine Hospital in providing the best medical service to Korean expatriates in China.
According to SNUH’s President & CEO Hee-Won Jung, this contract is an opportunity for SNUH to export excellent medical systems to the world and prove the quality of Korean healthcare system. He revealed that “from now on, SNUH will put more effort in increasing the reputation and awareness of Korean healthcare system around the world.”
Our hospital, in 2008, founded an office in Los Angeles to improve health of Korean immigrants, and, through the official adoption of this consulting contract, we have been able to continue our mission of improving health for Korean immigrants in China.
