The Health Promotion Center at Seoul National University Hospital
Seoul National University Hospital operates a private doctor system.

We have professors specializing in health promotion and age prevention who will take the role as a lifelong private doctor for each individual's healthy life. We operate a specialized and systematic health care program from the preliminary examination and examination processes to the doctor's judgment on future health care.

We offer customized medical examination.

A medical examination in the past was based on a uniform examination process, but now each patient can consult with a private doctor about the health risk factors and the most suitable examinations for his or her state, and make an appointment.
