Like any Asian state, South Korea is strong with traditional folk methods of treating diseases. Non-surgical techniques based on the subtle knowledge of the human body and centuries-old observation of the course of diseases allow healers from the Land of Morning Freshness to put on their feet the most difficult patients in the literal sense of the word. But the treatment in South Korea is both modern clinics with the latest equipment, and unique advanced technologies that give local medicine the right to occupy the highest lines in the world rankings in the field of healthcare.
Important rules
Only the best clinics in the country, according to Korean laws, are allowed to work with foreign patients, and one of the criteria for their competence is the availability of international accreditation according to the JCI system adopted in the United States. Service, the competence of doctors, the level of comfort in hospital wards and equipment can give a hundred points ahead of many European clinics, and therefore Russian travelers are increasingly choosing treatment in South Korea.
How do they help here?
The special attention of the government of the country to the problems of medicine and support of foreign tourism are expressed in the fact that for Russian citizens there is a special visa for treatment in South Korea, which is issued very quickly and for a period of one year. This greatly facilitates the procedure for obtaining medical care in the country's clinics.
Methods and achievements
The main areas of medicine of interest to foreign patients in the Land of Morning Freshness are a very impressive list:
- The National Cancer Center has made significant strides in treating most of the known cancers.
- The cardiac surgeons at Sejong Hospital can perform the most complex heart surgeries flawlessly.
- The JCI-accredited Miz-Med clinic in the capital helps women find the joy of motherhood.
- Plastic surgery in South Korea is considered one of the best in the world, and the favorable prices and the least amount of "waste" in work have made local clinics popular even with celebrities.
Issue price
The unique high technologies and the reliable level of preparedness of Korean doctors promise excellent treatment results. Moreover, the cost of all procedures, operations and rehabilitation measures in South Korea is significantly lower than in European or American clinics. Compared to treatment in other Asian countries, South Korea will cost more than Thailand, but it will be several times less expensive than Japan.
