1. The operating cost of hospital was broken down into 40.4 per cent in personnel expenses, 33.3 per cent in material expenses, and 26.3 per cent in managerial expenses, thereby indicating the irrational status of operating cost
2. The cost of 68 kinds of surgical operation was surveyed and calculated.
3. Cost was compared with the receipt of income, and as a result, the profit ratio was calculated at 64.5 per cent.
4. The net profit ratio for each kind of surgical operation was as follows:
Orthopedic surgery 128.9 per cent
Chest surgery 171.4 per cent
Ear, nose and throat 364.6 per cent
Internal medicine 59 per cent
Ophthalmology 15 per cent

However, the following operations incurred loss as indicated below:
General surgery 35 per cent
Obstetrics and gynaecology 8 per cent
Dermatology 11 per cent
5. Comparison was made with the minimum amount of charges of other hospitals in this country. As a result, it has been concluded that the profit ratio would be 70.5 per cent if their corresponding minimum amounts were charged.
6. The profit ratio of the National Medical Center was 64.5 per cent, that of the Seoul National University Hospital 49.6 per cent, that of the Yonsei Uniiversity Hospital 111 per cent, that of the Catholic Medical Center 58 per cent, and that of the Ewha Woman´s University Hospital 69.4 per cent.
