Severance Hospital medical service expansions
Overview
Severance Hospital has implemented new medical cooperation and emergency service systems in South Korea.
In October 2026, the hospital established the ‘Severance OB Group’ platform to streamline prenatal care. This system coordinates responsibilities between local clinics and the tertiary hospital, where clinics handle routine checkups and the hospital manages high-risk cases, such as fetal abnormalities, through a ‘one-stop fast-track’ process. The system utilizes a mobile app for medical referrals and electronic signatures.
In November 2026, the hospital opened a Regional Emergency Medical Center designated by the Ministry of Health and Welfare. Serving the northwestern region of Seoul, the center is tasked with managing critical patients, including those with cardiac arrest or stroke, and acting as a hub for disaster medical response in coordination with fire departments and police.
