Gachon University Gil Medical Center(GUGMC) received its 4th cycle healthcare institution accreditation and held a plaque-hanging ceremony in the main lobby on February 5. The event was attended by hospital president Dr. Woo-Kyung Kim, along with key executives and staff members, to reflect on the significance of the accreditation and to reaffirm their commitment to providing top-quality medical services.
The healthcare institution accreditation system is a government-led evaluation program, conducted every four years by the Korea Institute for Healthcare Accreditation under the Ministry of Health and Welfare. It objectively assesses whether medical institutions are continuously making efforts to improve patient safety and the quality of healthcare services.
GUGMC underwent the 4th cycle accreditation evaluation from September 12 to 15 last year. The hospital was assessed in four major areas—patient safety, clinical care systems, and organizational management—across 92 criteria. It successfully met the required standards in all categories and achieved high scores, earning the accreditation.
