The Himchan Hospital YouTube channel, which was opened in 2015, is constantly gaining popularity by delivering joint, spine, and health-related information at the patient's eye level and clearly delivering medical common sense that patients are curious about.
More than 530 video contents have been released, and the cumulative number of views has exceeded 6.77 million.
Meanwhile, Lee Soo-chan, CEO of Himchan Hospital, delivered vivid news from local hospitals, including advanced medical systems and neuroplasty treatment processes introduced overseas by Himchan Hospital in Bukhara, Uzbekistan, through his official YouTube channel.
Therefore, I went into the online tour of Bukhara Himchan Hospital, which was made of three videos.
▶'Taegeukgi', K-medical advance base high in Bukhara, Uzbekistan
Buhara Himchan Hospital in Uzbekistan opened in November 2019 and is the first hospital-level medical institution in Central Asia to be established by a domestic private medical institution alone.
Bukhara is an hour's flight and four hours' train ride from Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan, and is a tourist city with many ancient sites. You can understand it as a place similar to Gyeongju in Korea.
The building with the Taegeukgi in the center of the city is Bukhara Himchan Hospital.
Bukhara Himchan Hospital is a quasi-general hospital with a total of five medical departments and 100 beds, with three floors above the ground and about 3,000 pyeong. Currently, about 90 executives and employees are working.
In fact, it is not easy to establish a hospital in a foreign country. This is because there is an unfair view that it is simply for profit.
In response, Himchan Hospital continued to persuade by promoting the spread and contribution of advanced medical technology.
Eventually, local authorities and local governments began to help with licensing and all matters, and were finally able to open.
There was another ordeal.
Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the patient could not be cared for for for about three years and eight months. However, Himchan Hospital, Chairman Lee Soo-chan, and Chairman Park Hye-young of the Senate Medical Foundation overcame them with the persistence and tenacity of Koreans and were able to take off once again after the end of the pandemic.
In addition, the reliability of hospitals in Uzbekistan increased.
▶ From systems to equipment to culture…Set the 'first'best' records
Himchan Hospital has a record of 'first' in several sectors in Central Asia as well as Bukhara, Uzbekistan.
It started systematic treatment systems, state-of-the-art equipment, advanced medical technology, and patient care services that were not present in Central Asia.
First of all, Himchan Hospital introduced a systematic system that was prescribed by computer for the first time in Bukhara, Uzbekistan, and allows X-ray and MRI test results to be checked in the clinic with a computer.
In particular, Korea's physical therapy system has a high local response.
Central Asian and Middle Eastern countries have completely different physical therapy systems from South Korea. This is because physical therapy is accepted as a kind of massage in these countries.
Bukhara Himchan Hospital operates the same systematic physical therapy system as Korea, including manual therapy, sling therapy, and extracorporeal shock wave therapy.
With its growing popularity there, Bukhara National Medical School established a three-year department of physical therapy in 2018 to train professional physical therapists. Physical therapists at Himchan Hospital in Korea are also participating in classes and conducting field training.
It also introduced the latest inspection equipment.
Bukhara Himchan Hospital recently installed a 1.5 Tesla (T) MRI. In the Bukhara region, most of them are 0.5 Tesla, and even this is only about three generations.
The higher the Tesla, the higher the resolution and faster the shooting speed, the better the accuracy and speed of the inspection.
Because of its low marketability, the purchase price of MRI is about 30% higher than that of Korea. However, the cost is one-tenth the price compared to Korea.
It may be a loss in terms of economic feasibility, but it is an inevitable choice of Himchan Hospital for the same advanced medical systematization and examination and treatment accuracy as Korea.
It is driving not only medical care but also K-food transmission.
In this place, when a patient is admitted to a hospital, it is common for the guardian to prepare a lunch box for the patient's meal.
However, Bukhara Himchan Hospital provides patient food for patients' proper diet and balanced nutrition. This is for the patient's rapid recovery and recovery.
In particular, patients and guardians are fascinated by the Korean food served every Wednesday, Himchan Hospital said.
▶Sharing medical care spreads to the latest spread of medical care..."K-Medical excellence to be widely known"
Recently, Uzbekistan is taking the lead in transferring advanced medical care by implementing 'neuroplasty', the first non-spinal surgical treatment.
In fact, neoplasty is a common non-surgical treatment in Korea, but Uzbekistan is still proceeding with surgical methods of incision when treating spinal diseases.
In response, Bukhara Himchan Hospital recently introduced the first neuroplasty in Uzbekistan and is implementing it in earnest.
Neuroplasty is a typical non-surgical treatment that relieves pain by injecting drugs into the nerves that cause pain.
A small hole is made in the tailbone area, a micro catheter with a diameter of 1 mm is inserted, and the drug is administered to the lesion area while checking the monitor in real time.
The procedure time is around 10 to 15 minutes, and there is no need to worry about side effects from bleeding because the incision is not made. This allows us to get back to our daily lives quickly.
The patient who underwent neuroplasty at Bukhara Himchan Hospital sat down saying, "It's hard to stand The pain was severe every time I woke up, but the pain disappeared after the procedure"Thank you to the Korean medical staff for bringing me back to health," he said.
Himchan Hospital also helps Uzbek patients with poor family conditions.
In order to support surgery and rehabilitation as well as rehabilitation, 'strong sharing medical care' has been in progress since 2019. It is a global medical social contribution activity of Himchan Hospital.
Lee Soo-chan, CEO of Himchan Hospital, said, `We are doing our best to promote Korea's excellent medical capabilities and provide proper treatment"There were many difficult moments, but we will not give up and promote the excellence of K-medical and strive for the globalization of a strong hospital brand."
