Medical tourism refers to a planned excursion across international borders to avail certain medical treatments. These treatments range from cosmetic, ophthalmic, dental, cardiovascular, and orthopedic services to various complex procedures, such as stem-cell transplants. Some of the common considerations undertaken while selecting the location include treatment costs, the availability of skilled medical personnel and advanced healthcare facilities, distance, etc. Besides enhancing the quality of life, medical tourism offers numerous economic benefits, including generating healthcare jobs, setting global healthcare standards, exchanging knowledge, increasing foreign revenues, etc.

South Korea Medical Tourism Market Trends:

The growing inbound medical travel owing to the availability of state-of-the-art healthcare facilities, highly-trained practitioners, and cost-effective treatments is primarily driving the South Korea medical tourism market. Besides this, the increasing adoption of elective medical procedures that are not covered by medical insurance, such as fertility treatments, gender reassignment surgeries, reproductive therapy, dental reconstruction, cosmetic surgeries, etc., is acting as another significant growth-inducing factor. Furthermore, several initiatives undertaken by the government of South Korea to create awareness and promote medical tourism are also catalyzing the market growth. For instance, the Ministry of Health and Welfare (MOHW) improved the safety of international patients by introducing mandatory registration of medical institutions serving foreign patients and compulsory medical malpractice liability insurance. Additionally, numerous healthcare organizations and centers are also offering comprehensive medical tourism packages to patients, which include all travel-related services ranging from ticket bookings to accommodation and healthcare coverage. This, in turn, is creating a positive outlook for the market. Apart from this, the emerging trend of combining wellness practices with traditional Korean medicinal therapies is expected to drive the growth of the South Korea medical tourism market in the coming years.
