(Health Korea News / Yoo Ji-in) ‘Medical 24 Hours’ is a corner that shows brief news related to the medical field that is often overlooked in the media. It may seem like trivial news, but it could be valuable information to someone, so I’m only summarizing the facts.

The Ministry of Health and Welfare and the National Cancer Center will hold the ‘Colonoscopy Pilot Project Symposium’ to share the results of the colonoscopy pilot project that has been implemented for six years at the 1928 Art Center in Jeongdong, Seoul on the afternoon of the 18th.
In this symposium, in addition to the initial results of the colonoscopy pilot project implemented from 2019 to 2024, domestic experts related to colonoscopy such as the Korean Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy and the Korean Society of Colon and Proctology participated to discuss ‘Colonoscopy quality management and complication management measures’. We also plan to discuss this.
In particular, this symposium was prepared to explore the feasibility of introducing colonoscopy into the national cancer screening program and the future direction of national colon cancer screening based on the results of the colonoscopy pilot project.
