Working visit South Korean professor
13 September 2023From 7 September 2018, Professor of Rehabilitation Medicine Jongmin Lee paid a three-day working visit to EENnacoma. He is affiliated with the Konkuk University School of Medicine in Seoul and has a special interest in people with severe ABI and LBS in particular. Because hardly anything has been developed in his country for people with LBS after the hospital, he was personally informed about what has been developed in the Netherlands after a conference in Lyon.
