On March 21st, World Korean Medical
Organization (WKMO) hosted its Regional Forum at Lancaster London hotel in
London, UK. A substantial number of colleagues from out of UK attended
including three from the US, one from Brazil, two from Korea, and the rest from
Europe. Hoping to facilitate academic and bio-health industrial collaborations
and exchanges amongst all healthcare professionals, WKMO organized 5 sessions
of lectures from significant speakers under the topic of “Transcultural
Healthcare & Global Initiatives.” The London Forum’s speakers, Drs. David
Kim, David Ko, Leehyok Woo, Ben Lee, and Chul S. Hyun, spoke about great topics
from various fields including OB/GYN, neurology, psychiatry, neonatology, and
gastroenterology/hepatology.
Adding to the great speakers, there were
noteworthy figures who made the London Forum much richer. Ambassador Sungnam
Kim gave a congratulatory remark on behalf of the Embassy of the Republic of
Korea in the United Kingdom. Also, Professor Paul Matthews, LHF President,
Imperial College London, came to give a keynote speech in a topic of Korea - UK
R&D Collaboration during the gala dinner.
As the Regional Forum was accomplished
successfully, WKMO is now looking forward to the 4th Annual Convention which
will be held at Intercontinental Hotel in LA, on July 2-4, 2015. If interested
