300 medical centers target foreigner

 

Busan is making a swift move to become a center for medical tourism.

Busan is implementing measures to nurture medical tourism, with the aim of becoming a medical hub city in Asia.

 

Since last year, Busan has designated 300 medical centers with fine facilities to provide quality medical and language services for foreigners. The city promoted them on city and municipal websites. In addition, Busan formed an interpreting network consisting of 262 interpreters for English, Chinese, Russian, and Japanese to help foreigners gain medical services with more ease. It has also been supporting partnerships with medical industry associations in Busan (051-461-4276). A foreign language call center (1339) is also in operation for foreign patients.

Soon, Busan will form a medical tourism forum that will be composed of people in academic, medical, and tourism circles in order to study medical tourism policies and develop tourism products.

 

Large-scale hospitals are also moving fast to make Busan the heart of medical tourism. Since the opening of Pusan National University' Yangsan Hospital in October last year, the hospital has made every effort to maintain cutting-edge medical equipment and differentiated medical systems with an aim to becoming a center of medical and bio science.

 

Before the opening scheduled for the end of this year, Inje University' Haeundae Paik Hospital is setting up a one-stop medical system focusing on cutting-edge medical equipment and information system.

 

Asia Cancer Center will be opened as a medical center that will lead radiotherapy research and cancer treatment.
