Seoul

The tradition and obligations of Seoul National University Medical School as the core organization of Korean Health care over the last 100 years has also been bestowed upon us here at Seoul National University Bundang Hospital's campus. Seoul National University Bundang Hospital (SNUBH) has been committed to providing top-notch medical care to the patients we serve. Throughout the years, we have committed all our resources to improving the quality of patient care, pioneering research activities and also the education of future health care professionals. Historically, Seoul National University Hospital (SNUH) was the first hospital in Korea to provide modernized western medicine in this country from the late 19th century. Seoul National University Bundang Hospital continues that tradition of excellence and our moral obligation as the trademark of Korean health care and the first teaching institution outside the Yeongeon-dong Campus, the ivory tower, in order to accommodate the ever-growing patient population of this country.

Since its establishment in June, 1989, ASAN Medical Center has achieved a world-class medical reputation as it has continued to aggressively invest in R&D and clinical treatment. AMC also has carried out its social responsibility as a respected hospital by fulfilling the spirit of ‘respect for life’ and ‘sharing pain with neighbors.’ AMC is leading medical development in Korea with their competitive skills and cutting-edge equipment comparable to those of advanced foreign hospitals. ASAN Medical Center is the parent hospital of eight hospitals under the ASAN Foundation. Since its establishment in 1977, ASAN Foundation has launched nonprofit programs in social work and scholarships as well as academic research. In particular, ASAN opened hospitals in rural areas where modern medical resources are scarce, fulfilling a mission of the founder Chung Ju-young - ‘to help the neediest in our society.’

'Considering foreign customers who do not understand our hospital name "Kyung Hee University Hospital at Gangdong", which is also difficult to pronounce, we have renamed it "KUIMS" since 2009. KUIMS is an accredited, multi-specialty, university hospital located in Seoul, Korea. We are equipped with 800 beds and over 30 specialty centers. KUIMS offers state-of-the-art diagnostic, therapeutic and intensive care facilities in a one-stop medical center.

Since 2008's, KUIMS is providing the diagnosis and treatment of the medical service to the annual over 14,000 over-seas patients.
