Through the historical tradition of Jejungwon and Daehan Hospital, Seoul National University Hospital (SNUH), as the representative medical center of Korea, has heralded as a national development engine raising the nation’s healthcare system to world-class standards in the medical sciences, as well as medical education, research, and patient care. Currently, SNUH consists of different branches which have been ramified over the years as an extension of the main branch located in Daehak-ro: SNU Bundang Hospital, SMG-SNU Boramae Medical Center, SNUH Healthcare System Gangnam Center, SNU Children's Hospital, and SNU Cancer Hospital. Moreover, it signaled the announcing of Korea’s excellence in medicine by opening offices overseas, such as in the U.S. and the Middle East. This led Korean healthcare to be at the forefront of achieving the mission of making ‘Medical Korea’ be internationally recognized. As SNUH offers services on the basis of higher principles and proven evidence, it adopts a paradigm shift to combine existing diagnosis and treatment models with high-tech disease control and prevention programs. In this way, SNUH can take the initiative in building a sustainable heatlhcare system at a national level. We will lead the future of SNUH by sharing the following keywords within the community of our hospital and remembering them in maintaining SNUH’s core values: creation, sympathy, and innovation. We will focus on the development and globalization of our medical technology, in hopes that you will join us in our efforts to make SNUH into a place that shows others the importance of love, kindness, and communication. As a partner safeguarding not only people’s health but also dignity, we will always be faithfully committed to our duties as Korea’s national medical center.
