Kosin University Gospel Hospital (고신대학교복음병원) is a private, Presbyterian/Christian faith-based teaching hospital of Kosin University, in Amnam-dong, Seo-gu, Busan — tracing its origin to a wartime charity clinic opened in 1951 in Yeongdo, Busan, during the Korean War, and now a government-designated 상급종합병원 (tertiary/advanced-general hospital, 5th cycle, 2023). It runs roughly 40 clinical departments across on the order of 880 licensed beds (883 per the current KOIHA/government accreditation registry; the hospital's own homepage counter shows 844 and some third-party aggregators cite ~957 — likely reflecting the hospital's 2025 private-room remodel — see accreditation note for the sourced figure), has run one of Korea's earliest cancer centers since 1978, and holds current KOIHA acute-care hospital accreditation (Cert. No. 4-185, valid 2024-2028).

Accreditations
Independently verifiableOnly independent, checkable accreditations and rankings — published by the accrediting bodies themselves. Self-reported trade awards are deliberately omitted.
의료기관평가인증원 (Korea Institute for Healthcare Accreditation / KOIHA)
Cert No. 4-185, 급성기 type, valid 2024-11-15~2028-11-14, per Korea Consumer Agency (소비자24) registry; registry also lists institution type 상급종합병원 (tertiary/advanced-general hospital) and licensed bed count 883. The hospital's own 연혁 (history) page separately references a prior 3rd-cycle accreditation (2019.06-2023.06), confirming this 2024-2028 record is a renewed, unbroken 4th cycle.
보건복지부 (Ministry of Health and Welfare)
5th-cycle 상급종합병원 designation, dated 2023-12-29 on the hospital's own 연혁 page — a government hospital-tier designation (the top tier of Korea's three-tier system), not itself a quality-accreditation badge, but corroborates scale and referral status.
고용노동부 / 한국산업안전보건공단 (Ministry of Employment and Labor / KOSHA)
Awarded 2023-01-19 per the hospital's own 연혁 page — an occupational-health-institution grade specific to workplace health-screening programs, not a general hospital accreditation.

Traveling to Busan, South Korea
Sourced Full South Korea guide →South Korea crossed the 1-million mark as a medical-travel destination for the first time in 2024: about 1.17 million foreign patients were treated, up 93.2% from 610,000 in 2023 (Ministry of Health and Welfare / KHIDI). The largest patient groups came from Japan, China, the United States, Thailand and Taiwan, and the most-used specialties were dermatology, plastic surgery, internal/general medicine and health screening. Seoul concentrates most volume, drawing patients for aesthetic and dermatologic care, health check-ups, oncology and advanced surgery delivered in JCI-accredited hospitals with dedicated international-patient centers — at prices below the US while the government regulates and publishes standards through KHIDI's Medical Korea program.
- Visa
- Most Western nationalities (US, UK, EU/Schengen, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Japan) enter visa-free for short medical or tourist visits. The K-ETA (electronic travel authorization) requirement is temporarily WAIVED for 67 countries and territories through 31 December 2026 — eligible travellers enter without applying for a K-ETA; the requirement is expected to resume 1 January 2027. Confirm your nationality's current rule before travelling.
- Medical / long-stay visa
- For treatment, foreign patients typically use the C-3-3 medical tourism visa (short-term, stays up to 90 days, generally not extendable beyond 90 days except in special circumstances). For treatment or recovery longer than 90 days, patients change to or apply for the G-1-10 long-term medical treatment visa, which can be extended inside Korea; it requires hospital documentation (medical opinion, treatment schedule, payment records). Applications must be tied to a medical institution registered with KTO/KHIDI.
- Arrival
- From 1 January 2026, all foreign arrivals must file the mandatory digital e-Arrival Card online (within 3 days before arrival) — it replaces the paper disembarkation card and is a declaration, not a visa. Travellers who hold an approved K-ETA are exempt from the arrival card, but nationals of K-ETA-waived countries (US, UK, EU, Japan, etc.) must still complete the e-Arrival Card.
- Currency
- South Korean Won (KRW, ₩)
- Languages
- Korean; English widely spoken in international-patient centers at major hospitals, with interpreter services in multiple languages
- Safety & recourse
- Very safe for visitors · Established malpractice recourse
General guidance — confirm current rules for your nationality with official sources. Verified against: Korea Immigration — K-ETA temporary exemption extended to 31 Dec 2026 (MOFA/KPMG GMS alert) · Korea e-Arrival Card mandatory from 1 Jan 2026 · Medical Korea — medical visa (C-3-3 / G-1-10), KHIDI · MOHW — Korea attracts 1.17 million foreign patients in 2024.
