The Korea–Mexico Friendship Hospital (Spanish: Hospital de la Amistad Corea-México; Korean: 한·멕 우정병원) is a hospital in Mérida, Yucatán, Mexico.[1] It first opened on July 6, 2005.[2]
It was established as part of commemorations for the 100th anniversary of Koreans arriving in Mexico. Land was provided by the Mexican government for the construction of the hospital.[1][3] The South Korean government invested around US$1 million for the construction of the hospital.[4][3] The hospital has since continued to receive hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations,[3] as well as equipment from the South Korean government.[5]
It has since become a notable hospital for treating children in the region, and played a significant role in combatting the COVID-19 pandemic.[1]
