Kang Hyang Son, chief of the general surgery department of the orthopedic hospital of the Koryo Medicine General Hospital, is highly skilful in treating refractory diseases.

She has treated cases with thromboangiitis obliterans and thromboangiitis obliterans, known as difficult-to-cure diseases, without cutting off their legs by applying traditional Koryo therapies. She has also achieved successes in the treatment of many patients with mastitis and spondylosis deformans.

In the treatment of peripheral vascular diseases, including thromboangiitis obliterans, amputation of the leg or resection of the lesion is a common practice.

However, she has developed and introduced effective Koryo therapies to treat patients.

Her treatment method is popular among patients for it has less surgical invasion and scarring, accelerates treatment and satisfies cosmetic requirements.

More importantly, it helps prevent the loss of ability to work.

Pak Myong Il, living in Sungni-dong No. 3, Rangnang District, Pyongyang, said that he had thought he had no other option but to have his leg cut because gangrene had developed on his two toes, but that he was cured after about 50 days of treatment by her.

During her 31-year medical career, she has cured thousands of patients with refractory diseases.

She is a Merited Doctor who is recognized as one of the best doctors of the hospital and an authority on Koryo medicine.
