Boramae Medical Center, IVI and KSC exchange MOU – MOU aims to narrow vaccine gap and improve public health in Korea
The Seoul Metropolitan Government-Seoul National University (SMG-SNU) Boramae Medical Center exchanged a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the International Vaccine Institute (IVI) and the Korea Support Committee for IVI (KSC) for cooperation in vaccine research and vaccination projects.

The MOU, involving IVI as an international organization and Boramae Medical Center as a public hospital, is expected to contribute to improvements in public health service (in South Korea).
