Yonsei Institute for Global Health fulfills and spreads the Mission of Yonsei University Health System
Thank you for your continued interest and support for the Yonsei Institute for Global Health.
Established in 1885, Chejungwon marked the dawn of modern medical care in Korea.
It became more than just a hospital - it was a pioneering institution that introduced Western medicine and laid the foundation for medical education in the country.
Today, we carry forward the spirit of Chejungwon, striving to advance healthcare and promote human well-being through various activities.
The Yonsei Institute for Global Health has inherited the founding spirit of Chejungwon, which is enlightenment, Christianity, and cooperation, and is carrying out core projects such as domestic and international medical missions, inter-Korean healthcare and cooperation, international development (ODA), and international medical education. Through these efforts, we strive to practice transnational healthcare cooperation, research, and education, contributing to the improvement of global health.
All members of the Yonsei Institute for Global Health are dedicated to fulfilling this important mission. As we tackle health challenges across the globe, we will continue to play a significant role in advancing health and well-being for people worldwide. Your ongoing support is a great source of strength for us.
