Healthcare Information Technologies Performing Very Well in Overseas Markets
4-Sep-14, Business Korea
The healthcare IT of Korea has expanded to global markets such as the Middle East, Asia, and Africa, and is performing very well overseas. Especially since the number of the cases in which professional medical IT companies and big corporations centered on medical institutions are jointly entering foreign markets is increasing, this package type expansion is expected to gain momentum.
The consortium of Seoul National University Bundang Hospital and SK Telecom formed a contract to export Best Care 2.0, the next-generation hospital information system, with Health Affairs, the Ministry of the National Guard of Saudi Arabia, in June, and started to build the system last month. This is the very first case in which a medical institution and a big telecommunication company have jointly entered the overseas medical IT market.
