Korean Medical Center (KMC)
Under our open methodology this clinic scores 69.9/100 on structural verification: physician certification, licences, facility and legal-entity traceability, identifier disclosure and advertising honesty.
Rank #3 of 15 ranked clinics · last checked 17 September 2026
No crown: crowns require register-verified gates, never a clinic's own claim.
Summary
Multi-department medical centre in Al-Dayeen with a dedicated plastic-surgery division. The division head is named with role on the clinic's own site; the trade name is found in Qatar's Ministry of Commerce and Industry register; the specialist-board and medical-licence registers could not be queried headlessly.
Axis by axis
rubric value 1–5 · ? could not verify (no points, not a negative finding) · — not applicable: this country has no register of that class · OFF official register · SEC secondary source
| Axis | Finding (rubric anchor) | Value | Source class | Weight | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M1 | Specialist certification of the responsible physician Could not verify — this register is closed to machine queries in this country, so the axis is left out of the coverage calculation for every clinic on this site. Not a negative finding. Reason: Register closed to machine queries. Last attempt: asps, 17 September 2026 — secondary source names the physician (former M1 = 2); shown on the profile as a fact — M1 is not scored while the country's specialist register is closed |
? | ? | 26 | 2026-09-17 |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. Division head named with role, tied to this address. [site] |
SEC | 16 | 2026-08-29 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Could not verify — this register is closed to machine queries in this country, so the axis is left out of the coverage calculation for every clinic on this site. Not a negative finding. Reason: Register closed to machine queries. Last attempt: clinic_published_licence, 17 September 2026 — The doctors page names the plastic surgeons and their roles but publishes no DHP/QCHP licence number, so the M3 = 3 anchor cannot be reached. |
? | ? | 8 | 2026-09-17 |
| M4 | Facility registration Could not verify — this register is closed to machine queries in this country, so the axis is left out of the coverage calculation for every clinic on this site. Not a negative finding. Reason: Register closed to machine queries. Last attempt: data_gov_qa, 17 September 2026 — The MOPH facility service still answers every scripted request with the F5 BIG-IP image CAPTCHA. Of the two secondary routes, the Qatar Open Data Portal carries only aggregate facility counts and the Hukoomi service page only deep-links back to the CAPTCHA page, so no named facility record exists to match this address against. |
? | ? | 10 | 2026-09-17 |
| M5 | Legal-entity traceability The clinic names the legal entity or the responsible person in its legal notice and the record is found by name; or the number the clinic publishes leads to an entity with a different name that is tied to this location by the same address or the same responsible person. Trade name "Korean Medical Center" matched exactly in the MOCI Single Window Registered Trade Name search (plus two "mortgaged for Doha Bank" variant filings of the same name); the register does not disclose a company registration number for cross-match.

Score ceilings
No ceiling applies. We never apply one on 'not found' alone.
Holds
No hold on this profile.
Inclusion policy
Four mechanical conditions. The first three decide whether a clinic is listed at all; the fourth decides whether it can be scored.
| Identifiable: live public surface + working in-country contact | verified yes [site] |
|---|---|
| Provides the service itself (not an aggregator, booking site or tour packager) | verified yes [site] |
| In scope: the intervention is performed by a physician | verified yes [site] |
| Names a responsible physician | verified yes [site] |
Who is responsible
Named physicians and the legal entity, as published and as matched in the registers. A missing number is a statement about disclosure, not about licensing.
| Physician | Role | Register ID |
|---|---|---|
| Dr. Junghyun Kim [site] | Head of Plastic Surgery | not published |
| Dr. Joonsung Bae [site] | Senior Consultant, Plastic Surgery | not published |

Scope and procedure segments
Clinic focus: aesthetic in general clinic (focus adjustment -2) [site]
Secondary findings (not scored)
What a professional society, an international directory, a hospital page or another jurisdiction’s register says, shown for information where the country’s own register is closed. These facts enter neither the score nor the coverage.
- M1 · Specialist certification of the responsible physician SECThe national specialist register is not machine-accessible. Two of the plastic surgeons named on this record are carried by secondary directories: Dr. Habib Bakhit Al Basti appears in the ASPS Qatar international-member list and Dr. Marwan Depal has a plastic-surgeon profile in the Tabeebak Qatar directory.[asps] [tabeebak]
What we could not verify
- M1 · Specialist certification of the responsible physician — Register closed to machine queries
- M3 · Basic medical licence — Register closed to machine queries
- M4 · Facility registration — Register closed to machine queries
These cells score nothing and are not negative findings. A cell on a register that is closed to machine queries is left out of the coverage calculation; the others count against it. Each one names why it is empty; an attempt that did not complete is re-run in the next collection pass. If you can point to a public source, send it.
