    Yes. Please see the Accomodations page for the location and contact information. We recommend booking your accommodations after you have made an appointment.

  • How can I get a copy of my hospital records (medical records and/or radiological images) and can I get the records in English? If I am unavailable can someone else get a copy of my medical records?

    You need to come to our office with your ID (ARC or Passport) and fill out a request form. If you need a CD with your radiological images, please tell us when you are requesting your medical records.

    The medical certificate/opinion can only be written by a doctor, therefore if you need a medical certificate in English or in Korean you should request the doctor during the consultation. Otherwise, you have to make a new appointment to request one and will be additionally charged for the consultation.

    If a third party is coming on your behalf to make a copy of the medical records or CD with radiological images, he/she has to bring the following documents (there can be limitations for medical records from departments such as neuropsychiatry, gynecology, urology etc. if the patient is not present):

    - Authorization for disclosure and copy of medical records (You can download it at the Issuance Service page)

  • Do you provide hospital meals for patients with special needs?

    During hospitalization you can request Korean meals, Western meals or Halal Meals. The fee varies with each meal type (for more information ask your attending nurse). We can also provide meals for the guardians, but it has to be requested beforehand at the nurses station or your attending nurse.

    Specially requested meals (ex: Halal meals) may not be provided on the same day it is requested, since it takes time to acquire the raw materials for preparation.

    If you have specific needs (for example cannot eat seafood due to allergies), please inform nursing staff at the ward on the day of your admission.

  • If I am admitted at the hospital can a guardian stay with me at the hospital ward?

    One guardian is allowed to stay during the hospitalization if you are admitted in a general ward. We provide bedding sets (for guardian), for patients who came from abroad for your convenience so kindly return the bedding sets to the International Healthcare Center upon discharge.
