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.

What people say
Discover candid, first-hand experiences from people who have navigated the South Korean healthcare system.
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
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
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
“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
