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.
