Message from the Director of the Dongguk University Ilsan Medical Center for Oriental Medicine

Dongguk University Ilsan Buddhism Oriental Medicine Hospital was built based on the teachings of Buddha that appreciate the significance of even brief encounters. With the wisdom of traditional Oriental medicine and the state-of-the-art modern medicine, our hospital provides excellent medical care which is evolving every day.

In July 2009, Donguibogam, a culmination of all the knowledge in Oriental medicine, was listed as part of our World Cultural Heritage and provided another opportunity for the world to know about Oriental medicine. The hospital will strive to achieve the final goal of finding a cure for incurable diseases in addition to providing scientific diagnoses through the combination of Western and Oriental medicine, objectification of treatment through clinical research and continuous clinical reflection with an integrated research center and specialization of treatment areas such as pediatrics, women's health, rehabilitation, paralysis, etc.

A traditional Oriental maxim that is emphasized focuses on controlling oneself and adhering to sound principles. The maxim of medicine is to be humble and discipline oneself to look after the sick.

Dongguk University Ilsan Buddhism Oriental Hospital promises to stay close to those who need us while providing patient-oriented medical care by humbling ourselves and treating all forms of life with compassion.

Thank you.
