My Story

My name is Mohamed. I am a father of Amna.
She heard from the school that her back looks curved.
The doctor in UAE recommended going to USA or Korea to have a surgery, and we chose Korea. Because my father had a surgery at Wooridul before, and the result was great.

Actually, we think a 12 hour of flight and 7 hour of surgery are too dangerous for her, because she is still young and slim.


However, the surgery was done well and her curved back was corrected appreciably. After the surgery, she was on rehabilitation and improved a lot. She wants to wear a backpack, and we are happy to let her do that!
