In 1967, Maria Obstetrics and Gynecology opened where the Maria Fertility Hospital (Sinseol-dong, Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul) sits today, leading to the creation of the Maria Medical Foundation. At the time, the doctor willingly visited patients' houses with an old house-call bag even in the early mornings, no matter where a patient lived. This founding spirit became the root of the hospital's principles and commitment to its services.
Maria Fertility Hospital ranks number one in in-vitro fertilization cases, accounting for approximately 30% of the total cases among fertility hospitals. The hospital opened branches so that patients can conveniently experience the medical know-how of Maria Fertility Hospital no matter where they live across the country. The branches provide optimum diagnosis of problems through close collaborations among the branches.
The hospital has become a globally renowned fertility center, going beyond its unrivaled number-one position in fertility medicine in Korea. The hospital is dedicated to finding the best solution through research, and helping infertile patients realize their dreams of having a baby to create a healthy and happy family.
Maria Fertility Hospital is moving forward with the philosophy and heritage it inherited from the Maria Medical Foundation.
