A Hospital Named a Busan "Prestigious Local Enterprise"?... Joeun Munhwa Hospital Becomes First Regional Medical Institution Selected

Integrated Care System for Infertility, Childbirth, and Neonatal Treatment Recognized

Joeun Munhwa Hospital has become the first medical institution in the Busan region to be selected as a Busan City Prestigious Local Enterprise.

On June 2, Joeun Munhwa Hospital, operated by Eunsung Medical Foundation, announced that it has been named among the “2026 Busan City Prestigious Local Enterprises,” a selection made by Busan City and the Busan Economic Promotion Agency.

The Prestigious Local Enterprise program selects companies that have their headquarters in Busan, have been operating for more than 20 years, employ at least 100 regular staff, and have averaged more than 20 billion won in sales over the past three years. The program recognizes companies that have contributed to revitalizing the local economy and advancing the local community.

This year, 23 newly selected companies, including Joeun Munhwa Hospital, SB Sunbo Co., Ltd., Samjin Food Co., Ltd., International Food, and Jongno Electric Co., Ltd., as well as 10 re-certified companies such as Dong-A Geological Engineering Co., Ltd. and Sewoon Steel Co., Ltd., were chosen. To date, a total of 87 companies have been selected as Busan City Prestigious Local Enterprises.

Selected companies receive a certificate and a plaque of recognition as a Prestigious Local Enterprise, as well as a variety of benefits including support for policy funds, deferment of local tax audits, global promotional support, and preferential rates for Busan City Gas services.

Since opening as Munhwa Obstetrics and Gynecology in 1978, Joeun Munhwa Hospital has been a leading medical institution dedicated to the health of women, infants, and young children in the Busan area for 48 years. Notably, even in the challenging environment of declining birth rates and reduced delivery infrastructure, the hospital has consistently maintained its role as a central provider of obstetric care in Busan.

As of May this year, the cumulative number of deliveries at the hospital stands at approximately 118,000. The hospital continues to perform between 120 and 160 deliveries per month, maintaining the highest level of delivery cases in the Busan region.

One of the hospital's strengths is its integrated care system, which links infertility treatment, pregnancy, childbirth, and high-risk neonatal care. With a team of 18 board-certified obstetricians and gynecologists, the hospital provides systematic medical services and operates a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) to actively respond to the needs of high-risk newborns.

The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit is staffed by board-certified specialists 24 hours a day, and experienced nursing professionals are responsible for the treatment and care of newborns.

A representative from Joeun Munhwa Hospital stated, “Being selected as a Prestigious Local Enterprise is recognition of the value of our medical services, which have been built on the trust of the community as we have grown together. As a leading medical institution in Busan, we will do our utmost to further develop regional delivery services and public healthcare.”
