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 in attending, visit the WKMO website for detailed information (www.wkmonet.org).
