Headline Korea's Medical College and Hospital at Taegu

Caption Description War seriously affected the medical education facilities in South Korea, resulting in direct war damage, lack of maintenance, and a reduction in the number of qualified instructors. Under the aid programme for 1953, the UN Korean Reconstruction agency (UNKRA) has rehabilitated the Taegu Medical College and Hospital, rebuilt some of the damaged buildings, and supplied modern equipment at a cost of $235,000. However, owing largely to the need of the Korean armed forces for medical service, a comprehensive teaching staff was practically inexistent. In response to an appeal by UNKRA, the Swiss Federal Council provided a Swiss Medical Mission to give the necessary technical advice and guidance for the restoration of the teaching facilities. Fourteen Swiss medical, technical and administrative personnel are now working at Taegu hospital, and an extensive medical and nurse-training curriculum has been started.
A visit to the dentist is not pleasant at any time but modern instruments ensure less discomfort and better results. Dr. Cho Ok Mon, Taegu Hospital dentist, uses a new drill, part of the equipment supplied by UNKRA.
