SEOUL, South Korea, Aug 30 (Korea Bizwire) – KT announced on August 29 that 26 medical staffers from Kazakhstan visited its Advanced Institute of Technology on the previous day to learn about KT’s health care service, as well as Korea’s next-generation medical technology that combines information and communications technology.
The medical team from Kazakhstan has visited Korea as part of the Kazakhstan government’s national development strategy, and with the support of the government of Gyeonggi Province will be trained with Korea’s medical system and other technologies, including cutting-edge knowledge in the field.
