Pioneer of Korean rehabilitation development
Rehabilitation hospital paving the road to a bright future
Rehabilitation is a medical area that is facing a heavier demand as industries are advancing, transportation is developing, and the elderly population is growing. The Korean society is going through unprecedented changes, resulting in a combination of the Korean unique tradition that has been handed down over for thousands of years and the recent multiple foreign cultures that are rushing in. Accordingly, Korean medicine is also transitioning to a new world that combines our traditional medicine with modern medicine. Yonsei University’s Rehabilitation Hospital is an ideal medical institution to appropriately handle such social changes and the consequent needs.
Our Rehabilitation Hospital will continue contributing to medical developments throughout the world, as well as in Korea, as a role model for creating a new world of rehabilitation that considers cultural characteristics, through an academic and clinical combination of Eastern and Western medicines.
