Welcome, and thank you for visiting the Medical Research Institute of Pohang Stroke and Spine Hospital (PSSH).


PSSH has been at the very forefront of innovation ever since its inception. The first of its kind, we were Korea’s first cerebrovascular-specialty hospital, a model that had not existed in the nation. We have set a new standard for the nation’s healthcare delivery. We are now poised to move beyond the hospital scene. We strive to play a pioneering role in the broader ecosystem of bio-healthcare innovation.



CEO & Chief Medical Officer

Mun-Chul Kim

Aligned with the innovative spirit of PSSH, our Institute has its vision set on contributing to the development and expansion of Korea’s bio-healthcare sector as we work closely with Korea’s leading universities, industries, and hospitals. We are also committed to serving as a practical training ground for nurturing multidisciplinary, future-ready talents.


We at the Medical Research Institute of Pohang Stroke and Spine Hospital pledge to walk the path of innovation and collaboration, unwavering in our commitment to carry out PSSH’s motto.


Creating Excellence with Exceptional People
through Long-lasting Partnerships 


We welcome all those who wish to join our journey towards a brighter future. Once again, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your visit.
