Sourced facts

Ewha Womans University Mokdong Hospital (이화여자대학교의과대학부속목동병원) is a 657-bed private university teaching hospital in Mok-dong, Yangcheon-gu, southwest Seoul, operated by Ewha Womans University Medical Center. It opened in September 1993 when Ewha's medical school and teaching hospital relocated from their original Dongdaemun site (traceable to Korea's first women's hospital, Bogu Nyeogwan, founded 1887) to the current Mokdong campus, with 544 licensed beds at opening. It is a MOHW-designated 상급종합병원 (advanced/tertiary general hospital), continuously re-designated since first earning the title in the 4th cycle (2021) through the current 5th cycle (2024-2026), and runs the regional emergency medical center for southwest Seoul. Reflecting a strength in obstetrics/gynecology and oncology, the campus has spun off three specialty sub-hospitals in succession — Ewha Womans Cancer Hospital (2009), Ewha Urology Hospital (2022, a quaternary referral center), and Ewha Blood Cancer Hospital (2025) — alongside a robotic-surgery program that passed 5,000 cumulative cases in 2024 and a disability-friendly OB-GYN clinic opened in 2024. A separate, larger sibling campus, Ewha Seoul Hospital, opened in the Magok district of Gangseo-gu in 2019 and took over the university's medical school and — as of April 2020 — the private comprehensive (paid) health-screening service formerly run at Mokdong; Mokdong itself now offers only the government-subsidized national health-screening program (국가건강검진), not a private packaged checkup.

상급종합병원 (Tertiary / Advanced General Hospital)

Ministry of Health and Welfare (MOHW), South Korea

First designated in the 4th cycle (announced 2020-12-29, effective 2021-2023 — one of only four newly-designated hospitals nationwide that cycle, per 의협신문 20.12.29 coverage of the MOHW announcement) and re-designated for the current 5th cycle (2024.1.1–2026.12.31), one of ~47 hospitals nationwide and 14 in Seoul holding this status. Corroborated by the hospital's own greeting page, which states it operates '제5기 상급종합병원으로서' (as a 5th-cycle advanced general hospital).

의료기관 인증 (Healthcare Accreditation)

의료기관평가인증원 (Korea Institute for Healthcare Accreditation, KOIHA)

Not independently confirmed in a public directory in this session: koiha.or.kr's own accreditation search is JS-rendered and unreachable via curl/WebFetch, and the 소비자24 (Korea Consumer Agency, consumer.go.kr) registry's accreditation-search endpoint returned empty/blocked responses to both a direct query-string GET and a two-step cookie/referer attempt — not directory-verified here. Noted anyway because Korea's Medical Service Act makes valid KOIHA accreditation a regulatory prerequisite for 상급종합병원 designation, so the hospital almost certainly holds it in practice; this profile deliberately does not badge it without directory confirmation.

Traveling to Seoul, 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.
