Top hospital for this in Gwangju · Newsweek #24 in South Korea

#24 Chonnam National University Hospital BB 3.6★ KOIHA 의료기관인증 (Korea Institute for Healthcare Accreditation) — 상급종합병원/급성기 (tertiary hospital, acute-care) certification

Chonnam National University Hospital (전남대학교병원) is a public national-university tertiary teaching hospital (상급종합병원) at 42 Jebong-ro, Dong-gu, Gwangju, tracing its founding to 1910 as a provincial public clinic and taking its current name in 1988; it is the teaching hospital of Chonnam National University College of Medicine. It is one of five institutions on a shared network/CMS alongside its Hwasun campus (화순전남대학교병원, a separate city and a separately accredited entity), a dedicated Dental Hospital, the Bitgoeul Hospital, and a Children's Hospital — and is unrelated to the similarly-romanized Chungnam National University Hospital in Daejeon. It holds current KOIHA acute-care/tertiary accreditation (cert 4-25, valid 2023-02-07 to 2027-02-06, directory-verified via 소비자24); no JCI accreditation is claimed or found. Its own 2026 facilities dashboard reports 1,096 total operating beds on a 38,200 sq-m site with 122,950 sq-m of floor space, while its KOIHA registry entry separately lists 1,080 licensed beds — both cited rather than averaged. It runs designated centers for cardio-cerebrovascular disease, digestive disease, organ transplantation, kidney disease, emergency medicine, regional trauma, and international patients, and has been named to Newsweek's World's Best Hospitals / World's Best Specialized Hospitals lists in multiple recent years. Its own mandated 비급여 (non-covered) fee disclosure carries manual therapy (59,000-77,000 won/day), musculoskeletal ESWT (90,000-164,000 won per session, first vs. additional), and a flat-priced non-contrast brain MRI (770,000 won) — but, like several peer national-university hospitals, no stand-alone plain diagnostic CT line item, since diagnostic CT is largely NHIS-covered rather than a self-pay 비급여 item. Its dental-implant pricing is disclosed as two separate fee-schedule components (a surgical fixture-placement fee and a crown/prosthesis fee, each split across two internal code series) rather than one bundled per-tooth figure, giving a combined observed range of roughly 1.17-3.48 million won depending on tier. Its Health Promotion Center separately publishes self-pay screening-program prices from a base '필수 건강진단' tier (550,000/590,000 won, non-sedated) up to a 'Premium' precision bundle (3.8-4.07 million won, billed on top of the base checkup); no separate foreigner-package pricing was found.

Second opinion first — before you commit

Not yet sourced

Having your existing diagnosis re-read here is the cheapest way to test a hospital's quality before booking anything. Prices land per hospital with sources — never estimated.

A second opinion changes the plan often enough that specialists expect to be asked for one — it's a normal request, not an insult. Remote-review prices are being collected per hospital.

The care pathway

Modeled preview

How the treatment decision is typically made for this condition — your specialist confirms the path for your case.

  1. 1

    See the right specialist

    Care for acute myeloid leukemia starts with a specialist, who confirms the diagnosis and plans the next steps.

  2. 2

    Diagnosis & tests

    The diagnosis is confirmed with Blood Tests or Tissue and Specimen Analysis (Biopsy), which also show how far it has progressed (staging).

  3. 3

    Treatment options

    Options include Bone Marrow Transplant (for leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, aplastic anemia, sickle cell disease), Chemotherapy, Targeted Therapy or Radiation Therapy — weighed on outcome, downtime, risk and total cost. See the priced menu and decision factors below.

  4. 4

    Treatment

    The chosen treatment plan is carried out — every option below links to its own price page with a recovery timeline.

  5. 5

    Follow-up & monitoring

    Scheduled scans and check-ups confirm the result and catch any recurrence early; remote follow-up is common for international patients.

Framework pathway modeled by field — per-condition clinical pathways replace it as they're sourced.

Who you'll see — the care team

Modeled preview

Specialist types by pathway phase — never named individuals — with real consultation fees where we hold them. Each links to its own price page.

Fees are city-level consultation ranges from our specialist registry (imported, re-verified over time). Doctors are hospital attributes — you choose the provider on its hospital page, never a named individual here.

Choosing between the options

Modeled preview

What actually decides between the treatments above — and the checklist an expert would put to the specialist.

Decision factors

  • 1How advanced the condition is — stage or severity narrows the menu first
  • 2Your goal: cure, control, symptom relief or appearance
  • 3Downtime you can afford — the options below differ by weeks
  • 4Total cost with travel and follow-up, not just the sticker price
  • 5Tumor biology — some options only work for specific types

Ask the specialist

  1. 1Will my case be reviewed by a multidisciplinary tumor board?
  2. 2How many of this exact procedure did you perform last year?
  3. 3What is your complication and revision rate for it?
  4. 4What anesthesia will be used, and who administers it?
  5. 5Who manages my aftercare once I fly home, and how?
  6. 6What exactly is included in the quoted price — and what isn't?

A planning frame — suitability is always the specialist's call.

South Korea for medical travel — safety, recourse & visa

Sourced Full South Korea guide →

What matters if it goes wrong, and what it takes to get there — country-level, verifiable guidance in one place.

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
Traveller safety
Very safe for visitors
Legal recourse
Established malpractice recourse
Insurance
Medical-travel & complication cover widely available
International patients
Hospitals accustomed to international patients

General guidance from public sources — confirm current rules for your nationality. 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.
