The Ajou Medical Center was opened in 1994. It treats over 1 million patients annually, has performed more than 50,000 cardiac catheterizations, and over 4,000 robotic surgeries.
Among the factors that attract such a large number of people are the affordable prices — Ajou is worth considering for those on a limited budget. At the same time, the lower cost does not mean that the center lags behind its competitors in quality. Ajou can boast both the remarkable achievements by its doctors and significant scientific research.
- The 1st liver transplant in Korea from a donor to a recipient with a different blood type.
- The 1st case in Korea of curing a patient with Crouzon syndrome (a genetic abnormality that causes skull deformalities) through craniofacial distraction.
- A method for the treatment of craniosynostosis in children, which reduced the surgery time by 90%, was created here.
- The creation of biodegradable screws used to fix bones in fractures, which "dissolve" in the body over several years.
The special pride of the center is its staff. The hospital employs doctors whosee appotments must be booked days or weeks in advance:
- A pediatric orthopedist, an allergist, and a breast surgeon are among the best in the country.;
- Kim Chol Ho, an ENT specialist, is one of the 35 most experienced doctors in Korea;
- Seo Eun Yong, an endocrinologist, is the representative of Korea in the International Association of Endocrinologists and Surgeons.
Since 2011, Ajou Hospital has successfully passed JCI accrediitation every year, which confirms its compliance with all international standards for treating foreign patients.
