Global Cooperation
A leap into a global top-class hospital through a strong network with overseas medical institutes and through MOUs with overseas organizations for medical cooperation.
Samsung Medical Center, which aims to become a globally leading hospital, has been promoting active interaction with various distinguished medical institutes worldwide including Mayo Clinic (US), MD Anderson Cancer Center (US), and Beijing University Hospital. Since 2009, the Hospital is also promoting full-scale activities to attract foreign patients, which comprise a dynamic force for Korea’s new growth. The Hospital is particularly focusing on direct consultation with foreign governments, signing memoranda of understanding with the Mongolian Embassy in Korea (July 2009), Vladivostok City (Aug. 2009), Dubai (June. 2010) and Almaty, Kazakhstan (Aug. 2010). One of the most outstanding achievements is the opening of the Samsung Dubai Medical Center in Dubai, UAE, which made the Hospital the first Korean hospital to advance into the Middle East. Based on all these efforts, the Hospital received a citation from the Ministry of Health and Welfare as the hospital attracting the most foreign patients.

Famous quotes containing the words global and/or cooperation:
“The Sage of Toronto ... spent several decades marveling at the numerous freedoms created by a “global village” instantly and effortlessly accessible to all. Villages, unlike towns, have always been ruled by conformism, isolation, petty surveillance, boredom and repetitive malicious gossip about the same families. Which is a precise enough description of the global spectacle’s present vulgarity.”
—Guy Debord (b. 1931)
“The common erotic project of destroying women makes it possible for men to unite into a brotherhood; this project is the only firm and trustworthy groundwork for cooperation among males and all male bonding is based on it.”
—Andrea Dworkin (b. 1946)
