Over recent years, the demand for new medical techniques and diversely experienced healthcare professionals have been continuously increasing. As a result, it is getting easier to find Korean doctors and nurses at hospitals in the UAE.
The Korean Spine and Joint Center at the Royal Burjeel Hospital in Al-Ain is an example of several recent Korean medical service establishments in the UAE. The centre opened in May 2021, through collaboration with Burjeel Hospital, one of the most popular healthcare providers in the UAE. A neurosurgeon consultant doctor, an orthopaedic consultant doctor, a nurse and a staff member, all Korean nationals, are currently present at the centre. They previously worked together at a hospital in Korea and are continuing to provide excellent service in the UAE through the solid teamwork they have built over the years.
Their smooth transition from Korea to the UAE had been assisted by MMK, a Korean healthcare company focused on the UAE.
After completing his neurosurgery training in Korea, Dr. Jin Hwa Eum honed his clinical experience at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. He is a global pioneer in the treatment of spinal diseases using endoscopy, specifically biportal endoscopic spinal surgery. With his experience, he has trained many junior doctors in Korea using this method.
Another orthopaedic surgeon, Dr. Young Woong Back refined his clinical experience at Mayo Clinic as well as in Korea, where he practiced at a hospital specializing in shoulder surgery, performing a variety of surgeries from arthroscopic repair to shoulder arthroplasty. He is adept at using the latest surgical techniques, including multiple tendon transfer. Dr. Back also worked at a hospital in Seoul that specializes in articular cartilage re- generation surgery in the knees using stem cells. Dr. Back is also adept at using the latest technologies for shoulder and knee surgeries, making him one of only a few doctors who has experience in both upper and lower extremities.
The presence of these highly experienced doctors provides advanced surgical options for patients in the UAE.
