Coronary angiography in hospitals South Korea

My husband and I went to "Severance" in June 2016.

My husband has heart problems, which made themselves known as soon as we arrived in Korea. He felt unwell, and we went straight from the airport to the "Severance" intensive care unit. The department is simply huge, with modern diagnostic and patient monitoring equipment at every bed.

About the clinic itself, I can only say one thing: super. I liked everything: the care from the staff (including interpreters), the competent approach to treatment, fantastic equipment - I had only seen such things on TV before. The results exceeded all expectations!

Now we will only get treatment and examinations here.

After a heart attack in 2012, a coronary angiography revealed that I had impaired patency of 2 vessels. Doctors prescribed coronary artery bypass surgery, but getting free surgery was not easy. A quota was needed, but to get it, you have to queue - some wait several years.

Fortunately, my daughter learned that the South Korean clinic "Inha" was running a "Believe in the Dream" campaign. As part of the campaign, you could get not only free treatment but also tickets to Korea for the patient and a companion.

We took this opportunity. As soon as we arrived at the hospital, I underwent a complete examination. It showed that I didn't necessarily have to undergo the dangerous bypass surgery - a more modern method, stenting, could be used. It went quickly and without complications, so I was discharged soon after, given recommendations for further treatment and medication for a month.

Like many other Russian patients, I was amazed by the level of service and the friendliness of the doctors.
