국립의대 후보 순천대 “끝 아닌 시작…교육부 승인 남았다”

Cyclical University, located in the South Jeolla province, has announced that it will remain an aspiring candidate for the establishment of a national university hospital, despite having been selected as one of the top contenders in the last region. Acting President Seo Byung-won addressed a press conference at the local government building on the 31st, stating that there are still several undecided factors such as the final approval by the Ministry of Education, the number of spots, and the start date.

Cyclical University had surpassed the University of Jeonnam on the previous day, scoring 89.15 points in the regional government review, compared to Jeonnam's 87.85 points. The president expressed his vision of turning away from the metropolitan area and nurturing local medical talent to protect community health through a cyclical system of support. He also pledged to establish a comprehensive regional hospital as soon as possible.

Cyclical University acknowledged that the long-standing advocacy for a medical school in Jeollanam-do, particularly from the city of Mokpo, would have been inconceivable without their persistent efforts. They offered their support to the citizens of Mokpo, promising to remain open to future collaborations with the University of Jeollanam-do in medical education and research.

The president appealed to the government and the region to prioritize the development of critical and public healthcare infrastructure at the University of Jeollanam-do level. He extended an invitation to all stakeholders, including local medical institutions, to engage in discussions and jointly create a unified regional healthcare system. The Cyclical University remains committed to building a comprehensive regional healthcare network, ensuring its benefits extend to all of Jeollanam-do and beyond.
