Healthcare in South Korea

Health care in Korea is of a high quality, and can be found in general hospitals, oriental hospitals (these utilize traditional eastern medical practices), public health centers, and private hospitals. As an international student, you may choose to seek health care at international clinics, which are staffed by doctors who have studied abroad, generally in the United States, rather than hospitals. Be aware, however, that the costs at international clinics will be higher than they would be at hospitals.
