Welfare for Mankind
South Baylo University was founded on three principal objectives:
value, peace and professionalism.
Founder’s Message
During the 60’s, major paradigm shifts in science took place. In the old paradigm, “the whole is the sum of its parts.” Thus, the whole could be understood from the properties of the parts. In the new paradigm, the properties of the parts can be understood only from the dynamics of the whole. What we call a part is merely a pattern in an inseparable web of relationships.
The primary motive of founding SBU was to introduce age-old medicine of Asia that was perfectly in accord with the new paradigm of science. In the process of creating a new medical profession based on the new scientific paradigm, SBU emphasizes reviewing one’s own value system to judge if it contributes to peace: peace of all kinds.
