[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] Hwasun Chonnam National University Hospital (Director Shin Myung-geun) announced on the 24th that it has been selected as an excellent institution for smoking cessation treatment cooperation by the National Health Insurance Service for six consecutive years.

The National Health Insurance Service selects excellent institutions for smoking cessation treatment cooperation by evaluating the number of participants and completion rates among institutions participating in the smoking cessation support project.

Hwasun Chonnam National University Hospital, selected as an excellent institution for smoking cessation treatment for six consecutive years since 2015, helps patients succeed in quitting smoking through customized treatment and systematic management at the Family Medicine Smoking Cessation Clinic.

Choi Yuri, head of the Family Medicine Department at Hwasun Chonnam National University Hospital, said, "It is difficult to succeed in quitting smoking by simply stopping smoking unconditionally," adding, "If you receive systematic management from specialized smoking cessation medical staff and support from educational programs, you can increase the success rate of quitting smoking."
