Hallym University Hangang Sacred Heart Hospital

A delegation of Vietnamese medical tourism professionals visited Hallym University Sacred Heart Hospital on August 26, 2009. The 28-member delegation looked around the hospital to take a first-hand look at the Hallym's advanced medical infrastructure.

The fam tour organized by the Korea Tourism Organization (KTO) and the Docstour Travel Agency is a part of an ongoing project that the organization has promoted to introduce Korea's high quality medical services to the world.

The program included welcome remarks by Dr. Byung-Chul Lee, Hallym director, a hospital introduction and a hospital tour of the health promotion center, the departments of radiology and radiation oncology, the operation room, the general ward and the ICU. "We've been looking forward to this visit and we think it's going to be a really eye-opening experience for us ," said Dang Thi Nhu Hoa, Director of Yenbi Hospital. The tour enabled the group to become familiar with Hallym which expects more Vietnamese to visit in the days ahead.

Under the catchphrase of "Hallym's Global Excellence", Hallym has been working hard to attract more international customers, while striving to better services.
