This program is an empowerment program for medical personnel in Laos that began in 2010. This program has been supported by the Korea Foundation for International Health, which is affiliated with the Ministry of Health and Welfare. The Lee Jong-wook – Seoul Project is named after the late Lee Jong-wook, who served as the Director-General of the WHO and dedicated his life to the advancement of health care in developing countries, and the Minnesota Project. The program was launched after South Korea joined the DAC (Development Assistance Committee) as a member of the OECD in 2009, changing its position from an aid recipient to an aid provider. This program aims to give back the support Korea received from the Minnesota Project to the developing nation of Laos.
