#33 Pusan National University Hospital 3.8★ KOIHA 급성기병원 인증 (Acute Care Hospital Accreditation)
Pusan National University Hospital (부산대학교병원) is the main campus — in Seo-gu, Busan, tracing its origin to the Pusan National University College of Medicine Affiliated Hospital opened in 1956 (renamed to its current name in 1988, converted to an independent public corporation in 1994) — of the Pusan National University Hospital network, distinct from its satellite Yangsan campus (양산부산대학교병원, Yangsan city, a separate hospital). A public tertiary/advanced-general hospital (상급종합병원) with roughly 1,040 licensed beds, it runs a regional (Level-I) trauma center, a regional emergency medical center, a regional cancer center, organ- and stem-cell-transplant programs, robotic surgery, and an international healthcare center, and holds current KOIHA acute-care hospital accreditation (2023-2027).

Second opinion first — before you commit
Not yet sourcedHaving 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.
- Remote records review — written second opinion your existing scans, pathology and reports, reviewed without flying Not yet priced
- Video consultation with a specialist live case discussion after the review Not yet priced
- In-person specialist consultation reference price if you're already here Not yet priced
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 previewHow the treatment decision is typically made for this condition — your specialist confirms the path for your case.
- 1
See the right specialist
Care for cervical cancer starts with a specialist, who confirms the diagnosis and plans the next steps.
- 2
Diagnosis & tests
The diagnosis is confirmed with ThinPrep (Pap Smear for Cervical Cancer) or Tissue and Specimen Analysis (Biopsy), which also show how far it has progressed (staging).
- 3
Treatment options
Options include Radiation Therapy, Brachytherapy (Internal Radiation Therapy), Chemotherapy, Targeted Therapy or Immunotherapy — weighed on outcome, downtime, risk and total cost. See the priced menu and decision factors below.
- 4
Treatment
The chosen treatment plan is carried out — every option below links to its own price page with a recovery timeline.
- 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.

Choosing between the options
Modeled previewWhat 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
- 1Will my case be reviewed by a multidisciplinary tumor board?
- 2How many of this exact procedure did you perform last year?
- 3What is your complication and revision rate for it?
- 4What anesthesia will be used, and who administers it?
- 5Who manages my aftercare once I fly home, and how?
- 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.
