HAE Korea took a meaningful first step as a non-profit, voluntary organization on 7 November 2020 after a year of activities, starting with its first meeting of friends on 9 November 2019. We elected vice-chairman and general secretary and delivered emergency medical cards for Korean patients.

The meeting that took place on the 31st floor of Lotte Tower in Seoul was attended by ten patients as well as nine people from the Songseok Foundation and pharmaceutical companies.

After a word of welcome and an update from myself, the participants heard about topics such as the HAE Korea hospitalization website, our 2020 Business Report as well as medical support and consultation. Furthermore, we introduced the HAE Korea Emergency Medical Card and Professor Kang Hye-ryeon of the Seoul National University Hospital gave a lecture on “HAE Diagnosis and Management”.
