#52 in South — World's Best Hospitals 2026 from $25 3.1★ KOIHA 급성기병원인증 (Acute-Care Hospital Accreditation)

Every price shows its source and verification; Price data last updated .

Sourced facts KOIHA 급성기병원인증 (Acute-Care Hospital Accreditation) · Certificate No. 4-34, medical-institution type 종합병원 (general hospital), valid 2023-03-30 to 2027-03-29, issued by 의료기관평가인증원 (Korea Institute for Healthcare Accreditation / KOIHA) — confirmed via the Korea Consumer Agency (소비자24) government accreditation registry, which lists this exact institution by name (인제대학교 상계백병원), phone (1661-3100) and street address (서울특별시 노원구 동일로 1342), matching the target Nowon-gu campus (not the Busanjin-gu Busan Paik or Haeundae-gu Haeundae Paik campuses)

Inje University Sanggye Paik Hospital (인제대학교 상계백병원) is a private general hospital (종합병원, not tertiary/상급종합병원) in Sanggye-dong, Nowon-gu, Seoul, opened 1989-08-15 (groundbreaking 1988-01-18) with 450 beds as one of the Paik hospitals run by Inje University's Baik Medical Center network. It now operates 513 KOIHA-licensed beds (per the current government registry, superseding the 1989 opening figure), holds current KOIHA acute-care hospital accreditation (2023-2027), and runs named centers for liver/organ/stem-cell transplant, Gamma Knife radiosurgery, robotic surgery, cancer (with gastric, colorectal and breast sub-centers), cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, severe trauma, bloodless medicine, spine surgery and digestive disease, alongside an international healthcare center and a comprehensive health-promotion (checkup) center.

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.
