The hospital is particularly focusing on direct consultation with foreign governments, signing memoranda of understanding with the Mongolian Embassy in Korea (July 2009), Vladivostok City (Aug. 2009), Dubai (June. 2010) and Almaty, Kazakhstan (Aug. 2010). One of the most outstanding achievements is the opening of the Samsung Dubai Medical Center in Dubai, UAE, which made the hospital the first Korean hospital to advance into the Middle East. Based on all these efforts, the hospital received a citation from the Ministry of Health and Welfare as the hospital attracting the most foreign patients.
