Medical Korea
By "providing medical services to all patients without borders," Korea posits itself as the hub of "global healthcare." With world-class quality care at a reasonable cost, Korea sees an increasing number of foreign patients traveling to the nation to receive medical services. The Korean Government announced 'global healthcare' as one of the 'next growth engines of the Korean economy' and launched 'Medical Korea' as the nation's leading medical brand. Korea has built a foreigner-friendly medical environment and is executing a variety of promotional activities to increase international awareness of Medical Korea.
