Mokpo University and Suncheon University Agree to University Integration...South Jeolla Province National Medical School Foundation Flexibility

Mokpo National University and Suncheon National University have agreed on university integration and announced that they will push for the establishment of an integrated medical school.

The two universities promised to integrate universities on equal terms and establish medical schools to establish a medical system that guarantees basic medical rights in the eastern and western regions of Jeollanam-do.

South Jeolla Province will apply to the government to allocate medical school quotas to quickly support the launch of an integrated university.

Jeollanam-do Governor Kim Young-rok said, "I would like to thank the two universities for making a big decision," adding, "We will spare no support for securing a quota for the opening of integrated medical schools in 2026 and the finance necessary for establishing hospitals."
