Top hospital for this in Gwangju · Newsweek #24 in South Korea
#24 Chonnam National University Hospital 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.

- 3Downtime you can afford — the options below differ by weeks
- 4Total cost with travel and follow-up, not just the sticker price
- 5Your overall health and fitness for anesthesia
Ask the specialist
- 1How many of this exact procedure did you perform last year?
- 2What is your complication and revision rate for it?
- 3What anesthesia will be used, and who administers it?

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.
