Why Choose Healthcare in South Korea?

Korea’s basic health screening programs, while at their core similar to those in North America, often include more involved diagnostic tests such as sedated gastroscopy, comprehensive ultrasound imaging, cancer marker testing, and extensive multiple laboratory analyses such as CBC, liver function tests, and more.

These services are often either prohibitively expensive, or unavailable without multiple referrals and/or pre-existing co-morbidities in the U.S. and Canada.

For patients interested in preventing health problems before they arise, not having access to these services may be inconvenient or worrisome.

With HealthcareinKorea, you receive internationally-recognized care, both preventive and therapeutic, in a single visit; at a fraction of the cost.

The Reality of Preventive Healthcare in the U.S. & Canada

In the U.S. and Canada, proactive health screening is often prohibitively expensive or simply inaccessible.

  • Endoscopies are rarely approved without patient symptoms

    Advanced imaging and cancer markers are often denied by insurance

    Out-of-pocket costs can quickly reach $3,000–$6,000+

    Multiple referrals and long wait times are common

Many health conditions go undetected simply because screening is inaccessible.

Why International Patients Choose South Korea

  • Preventive screenings encouraged and easily-available, not restricted

  • One visit; one package; no hidden fees

  • Short wait times

  • World-class medical technology

  • Existing infrastructure to treat international patients smoothly, including interpreters

Many of our patients book check-ups while they are visiting family or travelling in Korea; a few days in your itinerary is all you need.
