Samsung Medical Center announced on the 30th that its English website won a Winner award in the website category at the Red Dot Design Award 2026.

The Red Dot Design Award is a globally recognized design award established in 1955 by the Design Center Nordrhein-Westfalen in Germany. It presents awards across three categories: product design, design concept, and brands and communication.

Samsung Medical Center's English website was recognized for its patient-centered information design, brand communication, and high-quality design. Renewed last November, the English website is structured around the actual journey of overseas patients. It features health information organized around key diseases and is designed to be organically linked with information on medical departments and medical staff.

The international patient services screens were also fully overhauled, with the entire interface designed intuitively to account for differences in language, culture, and medical systems. Since the renewal, users from various countries including the United States, Singapore, India, and China have visited the site, establishing it as a leading information platform for overseas patients.

Lee Jeong-eon, head of the External Affairs Office and a professor of breast surgery who led the task force (TF) for the English website renewal, said, "We will continue to effectively deliver our excellent medical capabilities to overseas patients and medical professionals through a digital platform optimized for the global search environment."
