AB - This article tries to examine the practice of social medicine in Korea through the activities of the Society for the Study of Social Medicine, which was established as a students activist group in 1970 and continued its efforts into the 1980s. The Society promoted social medicine as encompassing the societal roles of medical practitioners, and advocated for ‘pro-people’ practices. Siheung, the site where the Ghetto Movement (Bok-eum Jari) developed, was chosen by the Society as the location for the ‘social medicine’ hospital, named Sincheon Union Hospital. This institution operated as both a primary and secondary hospital, functioning as a community medical center in regions with limited healthcare access. The members of the Society, committed to actualizing the principles of social medicine, considered the hospital to be their collective endeavor and supported a range of healthcare experiments aimed at benefiting the public.
