2. HanGil Eye Hospital

Treatments Offered | Ophthalmology
Target Countries | Russia (and other Commonwealth of Independent States [CIS]) and United States

HanGil Eye Hospital has two great distinctions to its name. The first is being the only specialized ophthalmology hospital designated by the Ministry of Health and Welfare four consecutive times. There are only 10 specialized ophthalmology hospitals in Korea, and HanGil Eye Hospital is the only one in Incheon. The second one is that the medical institution has been KAHF accredited three consecutive times. The former testifies to the hospital’s excellence in size, infrastructure, and research, while the latter certifies the hospital’s provision of excellent medical services at an international level. The hospital is especially popular among patients from Russia, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan.

The best thing about this clinic with 36 years of history is the one-day, one-stop treatment system. The hospital encompasses six specialized centers and one clinic: Cornea and Cataract Center, Glaucoma Center, Retina Center, Oculoplastic and Orbital Surgery Center, Pediatric Ophthalmology•Strabismus•Amblyopia•Neuro-Ophthalmology Center, Refractive Surgery Center, and the Dry Eye Clinic.

3. Kim Byoung-Joon LEDAS Varicose Vein Clinic

Treatments Offered | Varicose vein
Target Countries | Russia and English-speaking countries
Language Service Available | English, Russian, and Chinese

This clinic has focused on varicose vein for the past 20 years. It is the only medical institution in Korea to acquire the KAHF and Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditations at the same time. The clinic’s expertise is reflected in its Laser Endovenous Duplex-Guided Ablation Sclerotherapy (LEDAS) Varicose Vein Centralized Solution, a process that uses laser therapy and injections instead of the conventional treatment of injections that the clinic has helped to establish. This non-incisional treatment only requires localized anesthesia and minimizes hemorrhages and scarring, allowing the patient to return to their daily life on the same day of the treatment. The clinic has completed more than 18,000 surgeries

and is working hard to elevate the recognition of Korean medical services under a mission to set the global standards of varicose vein treatment. It also has a global network of seven international health centers in five countries around the world, through which the clinic leads the global standards of varicose vein treatment. In 2021, the clinic also made a trademark registration of LEDAS as a varicose vein medical brand in China.
