Hello, I am Hyeong-Rok Kim, the 50th president of the Korean Society of Colorectal Surgery.
Our society was founded in 1967, and has been in existence for about 57 years. Currently, we have 2,443 members, the largest of any surgeon's society, and we are striving for medical advancement in various fields of colorectal diseases. I am incredibly honored to be elected president of such a storied organization.
Our society has made many contributions to the advancement of research and practice in various fields of colorectal diseases. We have made efforts in the areas of treatment techniques and diagnosis of benign and malignant diseases, basic research, and the establishment of standard practice guidelines, and we will continue to make progress in the future. We will also endeavor to socialize and exchange among members.
Today's medicine is characterized by the development of advanced medical and surgical techniques and the incorporation of artificial intelligence. In order to keep up with this trend, our society has several research groups under its umbrella and is making great efforts to acquire the latest knowledge. However, there are also difficulties such as the collapse of essential medical care, low water supply, and a decrease in support for full-time colorectal surgeons. We will strive to improve these poor medical conditions so that our society can move forward in a better direction.
I, Dr. Sung-Bum Kang, Chairman of the Board of Directors, and the Executive Directors of various fields will do our best to improve the rights and interests of members and acquire medical knowledge. I ask for your interest and support. On behalf of all the officers of the Society, I wish you all the best for your health and families.
Hyeong-Rok Kim, M.D., Ph.D.

"The Korean Society of Coloproctology (KSCP),
as the Innovation Core of Korean Medicine"
My dear colleagues and friends,
The Korean Society of Coloproctology (KSCP) has the mission of being the world's best society to protect the health of the people through leading academic research, and celebrated its 56th anniversary this year. In the meantime, we have worked hard to treat patients, research for better medical care, and educate future generations, so our society has risen on a rock that is enviable all over the world. I feel a great responsibility with honor to take on the responsibility of being the chairman of the board of directors of KSCP.
We have recently been perplexed by the fact that the system of healthcare in Korea we are committed to and calling to is entirely government-dependent. As you know well, more than half of the total essential emergency surgery in Korea is being performed by the department of surgery, and more than half of the surgical emergency surgery is solved by the members of the KSCP. In the middle of this situation, a professor of colorectal and anal surgery at a university who deals with emergency patients who visit day and night are forced into burnout, and the clinic of colorectal and anal surgery is in a serious situation due to the policy of low price for essential medical care.
Our KSCP is the center of essential healthcare and respects its dignified value. As the chairman of the board, I organize a policy research group that will realize our philosophy and logic, and persuades the people and the government. KSCP will continue to lead the world medical standards by studying, researching, publishing papers, and international communication, improving the quality of care.
Dear and respected members of the KSCP, our original mission of patient care, research, and education cannot be shaken, and the unsustainable medical system must be changed for the future of Korea. I wish your health and happiness.
Best Regards,
Sung-Bum Kang, M.D., Ph.D.
Chairman, Board of Directors,
The Korean Society of Coloproctology
