( November 11, 2026, 08:48 GMT | Official Statement) -- MLex Summary: South Korea’s Ministry of Health and Welfare on Wednesday launched a pilot service for the “Public Medical AI Highway” initiative, connecting two public medical institutions in Gangwon Province online in real time. The system is designed to deliver high-performance medical artificial intelligence models validated by leading public medical institutions to geographically dispersed public hospitals through high-speed dedicated networks, national AI computing resources and a standardized integration platform. Following pilot testing this year, the government aims to expand the service to 35 sites next year and all 72 public hospitals by 2029. The system embeds AI directly into the clinical interface, allowing it to autonomously analyze relevant information and draft documents without requiring physicians to leave the electronic medical record screen.The statement is attached (in Korean)....
