Sung-Geun Lee, Director of Lee Saem Hospital, Donates KRW 100 Million to Pukyong National University

― Supporting the University’s 80th Anniversary and the Advancement of Regional Universities and Professional Medical Education

Sung-Geun Lee, Director of Lee Saem Hospital, donated KRW 100 million to Pukyong National University (President Sang-Hoon Bae).

Sung-Geun Lee presented the donation to President Bae at a university development fund donation ceremony held in the reception room of Pukyong National University’s administration building on the afternoon of July 6.

Sung-Geun Lee said, “I would like to congratulate Pukyong National University on its 80th anniversary and recognize its longstanding commitment to advancing the local community and nurturing outstanding talent. I hope the university will continue to serve as a strong pillar supporting the development of Busan and the nation.”

Sung-Geun Lee, who is also an alumnus of Pukyong National University with a master’s degree in business administration, has been actively contributing to the development of the local community. His recognition includes a Prime Minister’s Commendation for Contributions to Job Creation, a Busan Mayor’s Commendation as an Exemplary Citizen for Good Deeds, and a Minister of the Interior and Safety Commendation for Contributions to Innovation in Safety Policy. He currently serves as president of the Busan Honor Society Club.

Lee Saem Hospital and Pukyong National University signed a memorandum of understanding in May to promote regional development and nurture future talent. Since then, the two institutions have drawn on the expertise of a medical institution specializing in health screenings and a national university to cooperate in building an industry-academia collaboration network and operating programs such as comprehensive health screenings and medical examinations for international students.

Sung-Geun Lee said, “Healthcare and education are among the most essential forms of infrastructure for regional development. I hope Pukyong National University will continue its efforts to nurture professional medical personnel and contribute to the advancement of our local community.”

Marking its 80th anniversary this year, Pukyong National University is continuing a relay of supportive donations for the university’s development, with Sung-Geun Lee participating as the 45th donor. The university plans to use the fund to realize its future vision for institutional advancement, including becoming a research-oriented university, an AI transformation (AX) innovation university, and a global innovation university.
