Seoul Certified - New Normal Tourism Content 2021-2022 from the official Seoul Tourism Organisation

Medical Tourism Korea

South Korea is a well-regarded hot spot for medical tourism. With vast expertise, highly trained doctors, world-leading medical services, and low-cost treatment, there is no surprise that people flock here looking for medical tourism packages.

World-Class Healthcare Facilities

Highly advanced facilities and cutting-edge technology accompany world-class healthcare services. In addition, the government continuously monitors the quality of care provided through hospital accreditation and strict evaluation programs, ensuring patient safety comes first. International medical societies highly respect our physicians, specialists, and surgeons.

Fast and Affordable Treatment

The cost of medical tourism in Korea is meagre compared to those in the USA and Japan. For example, haemorrhoid surgery in the USA costs approximately 10.91 million won, while for a fraction of the cost (roughly 1.27 million won), you can receive the same, if not superior, treatment in Seoul. In addition, some cancer treatments in Korea cost half of what you would pay in Singapore or Thailand.

Highly Accomplished and Skilled Doctors

In Korea, medical excellence standards are so stringent that only the top 0.5% of medical students can pass the rigorous exams and become practising professionals. So when you come to Korea for your medical needs, you are in the most capable hands.

Hub for Clinical Trials (Forefront of the Future)

South Korea has become one of the top 10 locations worldwide to conduct clinical studies. This is due to a mix of clinical experience, infrastructure, population density (Seoul), a supportive government, and access to highly educated, well trained medical professionals.

Leading Medical Tourism Fields

South Korea is considered a world leader in cosmetic surgery (plastic surgery), dermatology, and dentistry. In addition, Korea ranks among the world’s top tier in treating cancers, cardiac and vascular diseases, spinal disc repair and organ transplantation. There’s no surprise then that these treatments form Korea’s most popular medical tours.

Plastic Surgery

Specialities of Korean surgeons include wrinkle removal, breast surgery, microsurgery, scar removal, skin grafting, botox, anti-ageing treatments and aesthetic surgeries such as nose / eyelid surgery, hair removal / replacement and breast augmentation / reduction.

Korea offers the best dentistry services globally, from orthodontics, prosthodontics, wisdom tooth extraction and implants, to teeth whitening and general dental care. Using the latest technology, Digital CT Systems and 3D CT x-ray technology, treatment is fast, world-leading and very affordable.

Dermatology

Korea dominates the dermatology industry, with Korean women well-known for their beautiful skin. From aesthetic treatments for hair loss, dark spots, acne and wrinkles to conditions like eczema, psoriasis, skin cancers, lesions and pigmentation, Korea is at the forefront with knowledge and expertise.

Infertility Treatment

Korean doctors can help treat blocked fallopian tubes, low sperm count, azoospermia, ovulation disorders, male infertility and Preimplantation Genetic Disorder (PGD). Treatments can include In Vitro Fertilization, Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICIS), cryopreservation and artificial insemination.

Internal Medicine

Common ailments include paralysis, chronic fatigue syndrome, esophageal and gastrointestinal diseases, bowel disorders, pancreatic, liver and hematologic diseases, lumbar disc herniation, cervical disc herniation, scoliosis, spinal cord stenosis, facial palsy, obesity and weight management.

Cancer Treatment

Korea is a forerunner in robotic surgery, which can effectively remove cancerous cells in very thin and intricately intertwined lymph nodes. In addition, Korea has comparatively high survival rates for Thyroid, Breast, Cervical, Colon, Stomach, Liver, Lung and Pancreatic cancer treatments.

Orthopedics

Doctors are experts in treating pain from fractures, tendon injuries, meniscus, labral and rotator cuff tears, plantar fasciitis and carpal tunnel syndrome. Common treatments include arthroscopic surgeries, hip and knee replacement, rotator cuff and spinal surgery, Meniscectomy and ACL reconstruction.

Ophthalmology

Ophthalmologists in Korea are very highly skilled and offer some of the best treatments in the world. Some of the most common treatments locally and for medical tourists include laser eye surgery, retinal detachment surgery, cataract surgery with IOL replacement and LASIK eye surgery.

Oriental Medicine

In oriental medicine, acupuncture and moxa cautery are used alongside natural herbal medicines to restore harmony among the organs. Oriental clinics in Korea combine oriental and western medicine to meet patients’ needs and are well known for curing spinal diseases through non-surgical treatment.

Guide for Medical Tourists Visiting Seoul

Before setting off for medical tourism in Seoul, here are a few things you should consider. The better prepared you are on your arrival, the smoother and more comfortable your experience will be.

Human internal medical anatomy

Entry Visas for Korea South Korea has visa-free travel agreements with 112 countries lasting 30-180 days. However, if you require a medical visa to enter Korea, we can assist you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are a few common questions regarding medical tours and medical tourism in Korea. If you have any additional questions feel free to reach out to us at any time, and we’ll be happy to help.

What is a medical tourism package?

Medical tourism packages are fully customised around the needs of the patient and their comfort. Packages usually begin with a consultation and often include introducing trusted hospitals and doctors, booking medical procedures and accommodation, providing airport pick up, private transportation, an escort/interpreter and flexible post-treatment local tourism experiences.

How much does medical tourism in Korea cost?

With the enormous range of procedures, hospitals, and doctors in Korea, it is impossible to state exact costs for treatments and medical therapies. However, in general, most medical treatments and aesthetic surgeries can be up to 40% cheaper in Korea compared with the United States or Europe.

How much does a Korean plastic surgery tour package cost?

Each procedure requires differing amounts of time, resources and medical equipment, which means costs will vary greatly depending on what treatment you need. However, to give you some idea of how much a Korean plastic surgery tour package might cost, you can consider that in Korea, eyelid and nose surgery is generally offered at one third the cost of what you would pay in Japan.

How much do breast implants in Korea cost?

The cost of breast augmentation and breast implants in Korea will vary based on the type of procedure, options, and hospital you choose. However, as a general idea, you could save up to 50% compared to the cost of the same treatment in the US, Australia, New Zealand and the UK.

How to find and book medical tourism in Korea?

Statistics show that around 60% of medical tourists request the services of a medical tourism agency. In addition, a local medical tourism agency in Korea, like us, will be able to help introduce you to well-known, trusted clinics and doctors, as well as book procedures for you at affordable prices.

Is plastic surgery in Korea safe?

South Korea has the highest rate of plastic surgeries per capita worldwide, undergoing nearly 1 million procedures per year. Due to this high demand and consistent improvement of technologies, Korean plastic surgery is considered the most advanced in both safety and results.

How many foreigners go to Korea for plastic surgery?

Korea is regarded as the plastic surgery capital of the world. According to Statistica, in 2019, around 90,500 foreign patients visited Korea for plastic surgery.

Is South Korea good for medical tourism?

Healthcare in South Korea is very efficient, affordable and highly advanced, while patients’ satisfaction is consistently among the highest globally. In addition, Korea is a leader across many medical fields, making it a highly sought-after destination for medical tourism.

Private Tour Reviews

I got VIP to provide a fully managed medical tour package as it was my first time visiting South Korea. The hospital they introduced was very advanced and professional and the hotel was located close by in Gangnam. My Doctor spoke good English and my guide helped with translation everywhere else. Very satisfied and would recommend.

I had already booked a hotel and made arrangements with korean plastic surgery clinic introduced to me by a friend who had visited korea previously for treatment. So I only need a local guide to escort me to appointments help with the language barrier and show me around seoul. The service was completely flexible and my lovely guide was so comforting and great company. Post procedure my tours were well organised and flexible around how I felt that day…

– Kimberley

Very happy I booked with VIP Travel and would highly recommend them. They gave great recommendations during consulting. My doctor Dr Park was very experienced and explained everything clearly. My guide Sophie was very kind and attentive. She made my recovery so much more enjoyable and was so knowledgable about Korea. I couldn’t have asked for more.

The unstoppable rise of Korean medical tourism

All you need to know about medical tourism in South Korea Visiting Korea is not just about beautiful scenery, adventure, technology and history, but also about healing for one’s self. Korea has emerged as a medical tourism powerhouse and, with state-of-the-art medical equipment, smart IT-based medical technologies, smart hospitals and innovative treatments, it has become a “cradle of doctors.”

medical tour korea

Many employers are turning to medical travel opportunities to offer their employees top-notch care at a fraction of the U.S. costs. This model is not only lowering unnecessary healthcare costs, but it is also helping health payers and buyers in the U.S. achieve desired health outcomes without running into financial burdens. One country increasingly in focus for many American health consumers and buyers is South Korea.

DESTINATION SPOTLIGHT

MEDICAL TOURISM MAGAZINE

An abundant medical infrastructure, top notch hospitals with state-of the art equipment backed by the country’s world leading IT systems, experienced medical personnel, the accreditation of medical facilities – as well as attractive pricing – are combining to give the Asian country an undeniable edge.

Emma Procter

A relative newcomer to the medical tourism industry, South Korea has established a well-earned reputation for reliable service at competitive prices. While plastic and skin surgery remains South Korea’s largest medical tourist attraction, internal medicine occupies a respectable and growing 20% share of ROK’s foreign medical procedures. ROK is projected to become a “top 3” player in the medical tourism market by 2027, driven in no small part by the record of consistent innovation stemming from Korea’s technology sector.

@SarahObscura_

My friend saw a doctor in South Korea and had a check up with x rays and everything. Cost her around $40 USD. She was shooketh because something like that would easily cost $500 or more in the US. I seriously can’t wrap my head around the US medical system😫 #HealthcareInKorea

medical tour korea

@mikinrin90

Brit living in South Korea and by far it is the best medical service I’ve experienced. Going to the dentist took 20 minutes was in and out of it. Check up scaling and X ray cost be about a tenner. Very efficient. #EfficientHealthcare

medical tour korea

My health care costs the equiv~ of $55 a month in Korea in the form of a tax. i got a full check up once w a vision test, blood and urine screens, and chest x rays and paid $42 out of pocket. and i got a covid test for free. i really dont understand why america is so backwards. #HealthcareCosts

medical tour korea

Me Personally

And its awesome. Living two years in South Korea, I visited a doctor more times than I did the prior 10 years in the US. South Korean medical care is superb, and my taxes were extremely appropriate for the benefits, especially compared to our garbage infrastructure in the US. #KoreanHealthcare

Ray Doherty

South Korea’s medical system is better than anywhere in the USA yes. They had that advantage but the main difference was how fast they reacted to the threat and did it as a nation. They did an amazing job really. #CovidResponse

@tweetbrandon

Why do we pay so much for #medical across the board? I just came back from #Korea and even out of pocket, it was 1/20th to 1/30th the cost of the US. Guess what? I’d didn’t even wait for AMAZING treatment at the #1 hospital in the country. #USHealthcareCosts

medical tour korea

@NeilFaradayFan

I wait for my trips to Korea rather than having the checks up in Aus. The korea trip doubles as visiting the in-laws and having a health/dentist check up. The healthcare system in Korea is so good for Koreans and foreigners ❤️ #HealthTourism

@jesuspenis

“In Korea, you get these screening exams that are incredible, you get a CT, a dental exam, a blood-test — everything in one morning! It is assembly-line, ultra-efficient,” said Gurel. “In a lot of Western systems, the medical care is advanced but the integration is not.” #MedicalScreening

Medical Tourism in South Korea

Unlike its neighbor to the north, South Korea is perceived around the world as a gentle and fun-loving country. Many tourists from around the world travel to this country to experience its beautiful tourist spots, delicious cuisine, and very rich culture. Recently, South Korea medical tourism has also grown to be one of the most popular in Asia, because of their excellent-quality healthcare services and state-of-the-art facilities.

Advanced treatments for various spinal problems , other orthopedic problems, dental issues, organ transplantation, cancer treatments, cyberknife surgery in Korea, etc. have made this East Asian Country a hit among medical tourists from many western countries.

Some facts about South Korea:

  • It is officially known as The Republic of South Korea.
  • Neighbouring countries include Japan (East), North Korea (North) and The People’s Republic of China (West).

Healthcare in Korea

South Korea’s healthcare systems are among the best in Asia. The country’s general health office is called the Ministry of Health and Welfare. This office works with the government and other health agencies in the country in making and enforcing policies regarding public health and safety. Public and private employees are covered by healthcare insurance, as mandated by the government, and many hospitals continually update their systems and facilities – a big draw for medical tourists who go to South Korea.

The office of Ministry of Health and Welfare of South Korea is responsible for finding ways to enhance their quality of life, fostering health among children and adults, giving long-term care insurance for the elderly, and enforcing preventive healthcare and treatment programs.

Green South Korea

Environmental health is also one of this country’s continuing focuses, addressing issues like climate change, water pollution, and deforestation. In 2008, South Korean President Lee Myung Myung-bak announced the country’s vision for development “Low Carbon, Green Growth” – a drive that aims to use “green” technologies and industries that enhance efficiency in the use of its natural resources, while continually minimizing the hazards they pose to the environment.

South Korea has invested a lot of money in this aggressive drive, ensuring that the country does its part to conserve natural resources. They have taken huge steps to significantly cut down on greenhouse gas emissions, invested in renewable energy sources, and started to encourage the building of energy-efficient homes.

  • In order to register, a medical specialist per department is required to monitor and ensure the quality of healthcare they provide.
  • State-of-the-art equipment and cutting edge devices are used in the country’s hospitals, which is no surprise for a popularly technology-savvy country.

  • This is the same ranking for MRI machines, where South Korea is third to Japan and the US, and ahead of huge European countries like Germany, UK, and France. You may also check South Korea’s health profile as of 2008, as given by the World Health Organization.
  • Most hospitals involved in South Korean medical tourism maintain an international patients department that employs English speaking staff especially hired to take care of medical tourists’ needs.

To facilitate lifelong education and training, all Korean Medical Association (KMA) members employed at medical facilities are required to complete at least 12 credits of training yearly, ranging from workshops, online training, lectures, publications, symposiums, and conferences.

Tips for South Korea Medical Tourists

  • The most important rule is to research the qualifications of all parties a patient is interested to work with, including the hospital, doctor, and medical tourism agency.
  • Be aware of the weather and climate by looking up forecasted conditions for your scheduled trip so you can pack clothing as needed.
  • Inquire from the nearest South Korean embassy or consulate about the latest updates regarding requirements to enter South Korea.
  • Take advantage of the other benefits of going to South Korea as a medical tourist: look up the festivals, restaurants, cultural sites, mountains, and beaches you would like to explore – then schedule your trip accordingly. Just make sure to consult the doctor about what activities you want to do, so he can advise you on the things you may or may not be allowed to do before and after your medical visits to the hospital.
  • Coordinate with the hospital or medical tourism agency for the itinerary you want, as they will be able to help you out with arranging side trips to tourist spots before, in between, or after hospital visits when possible.
  • Medical tourism agencies are able to provide packages with hotels and transportation services during your stay, and most are available for discounted rates.
  • The success of medical tourism in South Korea is mainly due to the low costs of excellent-quality medical procedures and services. However, ensure that you are getting the best rates by getting feedback from more than one hospital and doctor if available. For this, working with a reputable medical tourism agency is best, as they will be able to give you options that will work best with your needs.

Medical tourism in South Korea - statistics & facts

South Korea is one of the most popular medical tourism destinations in the world. The country has been actively attracting foreign patients with advanced medical technologies and services during the past decade. As of 2021, the cumulative number of patients who visited Korea for medical purposes exceeded three million, with such services growing in popularity. Additionally, the increasing popularity of Hallyu content, such as K-pop or K-drama , has also led to an increase in the number of tourists visiting Korea. Prior to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, record numbers of medical tourists from 190 countries visited South Korea. As of 2022, patient numbers have yet to recover to pre-pandemic figures, but growth has been positive, with medical tourists increasing from around 117 thousand in 2020 to over 248.1 thousand just two years later. Among them, visitors from the United States and China accounted for the largest share of international patients coming to South Korea . A decade ago, the U.S. and Japan accounted for about half, but the nationality distribution of patients is becoming more and more diverse. In fact, the number of patients in Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand and Vietnam as well as northern countries, including Mongolia and Kazakhstan, is increasing. In contrast, patients from Middle Eastern countries, including the United Arab Emirates, slightly decreased recently. The most visited medical department among foreign patients in Korea was the internal medicine department, followed by plastic surgery , and dermatology. The preferred medical treatments to receive in Korea differ from patients' region of origin. Patients from Asian countries such as China, Japan, and Thailand mostly visited Korea for cosmetic purposes such as plastic surgery and dermatology. With the surge in popularity of K-beauty and Korean singers and actors, this aligns with the impact of the Korean Wave ("hallyu") on the tourism sector in Korea. On the other hand, many visitors from the United States, Russia, Mongolia, and Kazakhstan visited Korea for non-cosmetic treatment purposes, such as visiting an internal medicine practice or health checkup center. Prior to the pandemic, more than half of the patients who visited South Korea for medical treatment also enjoyed its additional tourism offers. Most visitors simply enjoyed shopping or city tours, while others visited historical sites and enjoyed its nature and scenery. Medical tourists' per capita spending on medical services lay at an average of around 6.5 thousand U.S. dollars, with drastic differences in expenditure depending on their country of origin. Overall, they were highly satisfied with the experience of medical services in Korea, and they were willing to revisit for medical treatment or recommend it to others.
