About medical tourism in Korea


Medical tourism is a trip abroad or within one country for the purpose of obtaining diagnosis or treatment. In Seoul people also often combine diagnosis and rest.

Medical tourism in South Korea began developing 10 years ago, and now Korean medicine is recognized worldwide. People come to Seoul not only from the CIS countries but even from the US because treatment in Korea is cheaper.

Among the Korean clinics, there are five leaders — Big Five — Samsung, Severance, SNUH, Asan Hospital and St. Mary's Hospital in Seoul. These are the most popular and most expensive clinics. There are also less well-known clinics, but the quality of treatment is not worse, and the cost is lower. They provide better service like free shuttle service, translator and other bonuses. This is convenient because the transfer to Seoul can cost $100 and the work of a translator — up to $50 per hour. Among these clinics are Soon Chun Hyang, St. Mary's hospitals in other cities, Se John and Bundang Jesaeng Hospital. Hospitals at Korean universities conducting clinical research and use innovative methods of treatment before they start to apply massively.

Most often patients with serious diseases come to Korea. Oncology is the most common problem. In South Korea, medicine has reached the highest level and is a leader in the treatment of breast cancer, stomach, liver, colon and small intestine, rectum. Also, many people come for diagnosis or plastic surgery.


About the benefits of medicine in Korea


In South Korea, in medicine is applied a comprehensive approach. In one place a patient can have a quick qualified diagnosis, treatment and necessary operation.
The whole process can take four days, and that is fast.

Also, a multidisciplinary approach is common in Korea it is when the patient is examined by several highly specialized doctors at the same time.

In some hospitals, artificial intelligence may be used for consultation. The program loaded with thousands of stories of patients' diseases, results of clinical studies. Artificial intelligence can process information using big data and offer an optimal solution. And doctors can use these data as recommendations for treatment.

Treatment in Korea is accurate. Doctors can perform operations in a minimally invasive way by planning an operation based on a 3D model of the organ. This allows patients to recover much faster.

In Korea, you can also get a qualitative diagnosis. The equipment here is more modern than in Kazakhstan. This allows you to get more data and make an accurate diagnosis.


On what is important to pay attention


An international department where employees speak different languages must operate in Korean clinics. Such clinics are certified and can receive foreigners.

In South Korea, foreign patients can receive treatment on a foreign passport. You need to take it to the international department and can get all the services without registration.

Life and treatment in Seoul are expensive. But the treatment in Korea is cheaper than in Germany and Israel. It can be compared with the cost of treatment in Turkey or prestigious Moscow clinics.

To arrange a trip to Korea, you can contact the agency or try to prepare everything yourself. During planning on your own, find the best few clinics that fit your profile among 200 or 300 offered. Compare the conditions and choose the right one. It is difficult and has many moments that need to be considered. Therefore, it is better to use the services of trusted agencies. It is important to choose the one that works honestly. The Korean government is trying controlling the work of such companies, but there are still many swindlers among them.

For treatment in Israel, we recommend the medical centre Assuta. It is a leading surgical centre in Israel and the world. In 2017, I myself underwent surgery there to remove the thyroid gland. We are official representatives of the foreign department of Assuta Hospital.

The cost of treatment in Israel depends on the diagnosis and the degree of complexity of treatment. After the resort of the patient, experts select the most acceptable program. The cost of diagnosis varies from $1,000 to $3,000. In complex cases, the cost may be higher.

The right solution for the organization of treatment in Israel will be the choice of an official and certified representative of the hospital. The second step is to send all medical documentation, test results, ultrasound images, the doctor's conclusion to the selected clinic. This is necessary to determine the program and the cost of treatment, securing a personal coordinator. All other issues, such as sending an invitation to a visa, the organization of transfer at the airport, the selection of a doctor, an appointment, assistance in the selection of housing will be dealt by the coordinator.
