The Ewha Womans University Medical Center (EUMC) has signed an MOU inolving remote medical services with the National Center for Maternal and Child Health (NCMCH) of Mongolia.
Participating in the signing ceremony that took place at the Ewha Womans University Mokdong Medical Center on Sept. 23 were EUMC Director Kim Seung-cheol, concurrently vice president of Ewha Womans University; Director Yoo Kyung-ha of the Ewha Womans University Mokdong Medical Center; and Park Eun-hye, head of the Planning and Coordination Office; other EUMC executives; as well as Director Enkhtur Shonkhuuz of the NCMCH and Enkhtur Shonkhuuz, head of the hospital’s pediatric department. Under the agreement, the two medical institutions agreed to develop remote medical services for patients in distant areas with limited medical care and educate Mongolian medical staff.
The deal calls for the EUMC to provide medical equipment and materials for remote medical care, dispatching experts to make a feasibility study and a survey to be conducted on equipment on top of system buildup and an educational program.
In return, the Mongolian medical center will designate the manpower essential to building and operating of the system, secure doctors and nurses to offer remote medical services and build a system designed to manage patients.
In his speech at the ceremony, EUMC Director Kim said, “With the two hospitals’ signing of the agreement, I hope they will continue to further evolve into a hospital contributing to a better life of humanity by sharing each other’s strengths and having synergetic effects.”
NCMCH Director Shonkhuuz said, “The deal on remote-controlled medical care, agreed by the two medical institutions is expected to serve as an opportunity for our hospital and Mongolian medical services to move a step forward for creating new opportunities.”
In July, prior to the EUMC’s signing of the latest deal, EUMC Director Kim toured the NCMCH and signed an MOU on cooperation in the remote-controlled medical care field with the Mongolian side.
The EUMC has dispatched a medical volunteer group to offer free medical services to poor people in Mongolia every year.
