Medical centers for foreigners in Korea

Updated: Apr 26, 2022

Health is an important part of our lives, and when you are living in another country it may be difficult to find the proper help in English. We tried to narrow down some health facilities (some are free, but check beforehand) for you to be able to get the specialized help you need.


Medical Referral Service


The Seoul Global Center (SGC) launched by Seoul Metropolitan Government operates a 24-hour Medical Referral Service (MRS) for foreign nationals. Medically trained, English-speaking staff provide information and recommendations on medical facilities and services. The MRS team has striven to provide quality medical information by regularly visiting medical facilities that offer medical services to foreigners. The team constantly seeks to make improvements by collecting feedback from foreign nationals.
