NEW YORK
Korea4Health, providing internationally renowned Korean healthcare services, announces today the launch of its new website and services, featuring the best medical procedures of select Korean hospitals operating in the US and Korea, with some hospitals offering overseas US offices. Individuals seeking high-quality, affordable procedures – including cancer treatment, heart surgery, infertility treatment, organ transplant, neurosurgery, joint replacement, spinal surgery and alternative care – will find that it costs only 20 to 30 percent of the cost in US hospitals.
“The strength of Korean healthcare lies in its highly trained physicians and staff, high-end medical equipment, and well-established medical infrastructure,” says Dr. DoHyun Cho, Executive Director of Medical Korea Council in America. “The number of foreign patients seeking advanced medical treatment in Korea has increased by an average 50 percent annually. Medical doctors from countries all over the world are visiting Korea to be trained in workshops, fellowship programs and seminars from Korea’s highly respected hospitals.”
While Korea’s tourism numbers are gradually increasing, according to CNN, the number of foreign patients visiting Korea for treatments is also significantly increasing. Ministry of Health and Welfare recently publicly announced that the number of foreign patients visiting Korea has reached 155,673 in 2012. In the meantime, there are 91 overseas Korean medical facilities operating all over the world serving global patients. These overseas Korean medical facilities allow foreign patients to experience Korea’s excellent medical services without traveling to Korea. Korea4Health offers detailed information about Korean healthcare providers operating in the US as well.
Additionally, safety and quality of Korean medical services are inspected consistently by the government through accreditation and strict evaluation programs. Information featured in Korea4Health is also accredited by KHIDI USA, Korean Government agency under the Ministry of Health and Welfare.
Dr. Cho concludes, “Korea’s status as a medical and healthcare leader in the global arena has risen greatly. With growing awareness of the opportunities we offer patients, we foresee a large influx of US patients to our network of hospitals in the US and Korea seeking the best possible treatment at cost-effective prices.”
