Korea University medical facility expansions

Overview

Korea University Medical Center is expanding its medical infrastructure and specialized care capabilities through new construction and facility upgrades.

In late September 2026, Korea University Guro Hospital broke ground on Saeam Hospital, a new cancer treatment platform. The facility, expected to be completed in late 2029, will span nine basement levels and six floors, aiming to integrate diagnosis, treatment, and clinical research while doubling the size of the regional emergency medical center.

Concurrently, Korea University Anam Hospital expanded its Regional Emergency Medical Center by opening a specialized pediatric emergency room. This new unit includes dedicated pediatric emergency specialists and exclusive beds to provide more meticulous care for young patients and ensure rapid connection to specialized departments.
