这项研究旨在确定韩国战争期间Koje Severance医院作为医疗救济机构的特点和作用，并检查其作为Geje(Koje)岛地区医疗机构的地位。为了澄清这一点，本文确认了朝鲜战争期间具有代表性的医疗救济医院科耶·塞维兰斯医院的开业过程和运营情况。根据对新收集的文件的分析，它显示了医院在Geje岛的Jangseungpo开设的官方原因。遣散费医院于1951年1月下旬被指定为歌仔岛上的一家医院，负责处理联合国韩国民援团(民援团)S的公共卫生事务。该医院负责难民的免费治疗和UNCACK的公共卫生事务，包括检查难民的健康状况、检查传染病流行情况、病人护理和传染病隔离、临床测试和解剖。这一项目甚至在1952年3月首尔塞维兰斯医院重建项目开始后仍在继续。然而，由于卫生部的补贴和遣散费没有及时支付，医院的运营状况恶化。1952-1953年间，这家医院被改造成当地的医疗机构，并搬迁到了新的地点。由于Geje岛上的医疗机构很少，朝鲜战争以停战协议结束后，医院得以保留。因此，加拿大代表团接管了医院的管理，并继续其医疗活动，一名毕业于塞维兰斯医学院的全科医生接任医院主任，并经营该医院，直到1970年初关闭。医院一直使用“Severance”这个名字，直到它关闭，这表明Severance医院的名字在Geje有重要的意义。
This research aims to identify the characteristics and role of Koje Severance Hospital as a medical relief institution during the Korean War and to examine its status as a regional healthcare institution on Geoje (Koje) Island. To clarify that, this article confirms the opening process and operation of Koje Severance Hospital, a representative medical relief hospital during the Korean War. Based on the analysis of the newly collected documents, it shows the official reason the hospital was opened in Jangseungpo, Geoje Island. Severance Hospital was designated as a hospital on Geoje Island in late January 1951 to handle the United Nations Civil Assistance Corps Korea (UNCACK)’s public health affairs. The hospital was responsible for the free treatment of refugees and for UNCACK’s public health affairs, including checking the health status of refugees, checking for infectious disease prevalence, patient care and isolation of infectious diseases, clinical testing, and dissection.This project continued even after March 1952, when the reconstruction project of Severance Hospital in Seoul began. However, the hospital’s operation deteriorated because the Ministry of Health’s subsidies and a severance fund were not paid in time. The hospital was transformed into a local medical institution and moved to a new location from 1952-1953. Because there were very few medical institutions on Geoje Island, the hospital was maintained after the Korean War ended with the armistice. As a result, the Canadian Mission took over the management of the hospital and continued its medical activities, and a general practitioner (GP) who graduated from Severance Medical College took over as the hospital director and operated it until its closing in early 1970. The hospital used the name “Severance” until it closed, which suggests that Severance Hospital’s name had a significant meaning in Geoje.
