Jun Seok Bae-Neurosurgeon, Medical director of Gangnam Wooridul Hospital, returned back to South Korea on July 14th with tanned black face after completing his schedule of 5 days from Maharashtra in western India.

Medical Director, Jun Seok Bae had tough schedule with daily 2~3 hours of movement to consult and caring patients as much 900 patients a day in unfamiliar named wilds that takes 10 hours to get there by car from Mumbai (capital city of the Maharashtra state).
“Local circumstances were very poor to get enough medical care and most of them were first time to getting the medical benefits.  Women were marring at their young age and does heavy work. There were no one without anemia, with bad nutritional status and back pain and knee pain, severe systemic pain…Also most patients needed urgent treatment.  

We prepared necessary equipment and medicines as much as possible with supports of Indian NGO organization, the Spring of Desert and South Korea Love community society, Wooridul Hospital Social Responsibility support program, but the number of patients who wanted to have treatment were over than our expectation. That’s why we returned the people who were waiting until the end. It was really regretful and felt so sorry for them.

However we delivered the hopeand all staffs who participated in Medical healthcare Volunteer, everyone have done their best. Although medicine and injections were all, but patients shed tears of gratitude. It was precious time that realized me sense of duty as a doctor once more.”

Wooridul Spine Hospital, We specialized and focused on Spine treatment field for over than 30 years and national representative Spine Hospital that provides “Spine total care”.

The Principles of minimum invasive treatment is to develop varies treatments to relieve the spinal disorder pain who is suffering, so that patients are able to return to their normal life as possible as faster.

Currently spine treatment technology of Wooridul Hospital is leading in the world, from the surgery of curable disease that required high-level surgery to Minimal Invasive Procedure that treats only the lesions with small wounds by using high-tech equipment such as Endoscope microscope and Lasers etc


Wooridul hospital is non-exclusive latest technology and has generously invested in technology transfer and sharing the knowledge. As a result, we flooded in requests of international technical training and knowledge sharing.





Orthopedic medical director of Gangnam Wooridul Hospital, Gene Cheh visited Orthopedic Hospital of Myanmar Mandalay for second Medical care service in June.

Medical Director Cheh selected surgery patient and established treatment plan by exchanging email with local doctors several months before his visiting Myanmar.
He had surgeries for 17 patients with severe spinal abnormalities in 5 days of residing and each day 3 to 4 people operated.






Director of “Butter Fly Foundation ” Dr. Andrew Morton said “Myanmar children and patients with spinal deformities treatment. so that they can have a normal spine, deformity surgery technology transfer to local staff and further wishes to exchange knowledge we chose the hospital medical staff in Korea.  When surgery proceed we felt that our choice was right and Korean Spine treatment technology was with amazing level.


Director Gene Cheh said “My heart breaks when I see the unattended patients who did not receive treatment at right time.  “Feeding the way with how to catching fish is much better than giving a fish”. Treating patient is important but technology transfer is needed more than anything, Technology that we have gotten is, technology transferring is necessary more than anything to  be carried to the patients in right place.
