Why Korea?
Korea, a Technological Leader in Medical Services
Medical Travel in Korea is growing remarkably. Since 2009, the Korea government established
an organization called “Medical Korea” and launched a set of policies to support providers and
facilitators attracting foreign patients.
The greatest merit of having medical treatment in Korea is that patients can receive various
high-quality medical services at reasonable prices without delay.
First of all, Korea provides most advanced and reliable medical services through highly
accomplished physicians, specialists and surgeons. In order to be a medical specialist in
Korea, it is required to finish 11 years’ course in medical school successfully. Even after they
achieve the license, they are obligated to participate in Continuing Education Program which is
organized by KMA (Korean Medical Association) to update and improve their knowledge and
skill. In fact, many of them gain their training and education in other countries including
U.S.A. to broaden their experience. Moreover, Korea has 40 world-renowned hospitals
including many JCI-accredited ones. Especially, hospitals which are registered as a healthcare
provider for foreign patients are required to have at least one medical specialist in each
medical department treating foreign patients for the purpose of providing high-quality
medical services.
Secondly, Korea is the technological leader in medical field and offers high-tech medical
services by combining advanced IT and biotechnology. Most hospitals are fully digitalized,
and electronic health records are the rule. Many of them are equipped with most recent
facilities such as “Da Vinci robot system” and “Proton treatment facilities.”
Lastly, the medical cost in Korea is surprisingly low when it is compared to that in US or
Japan.

Our Medical Specialties are as follows:
Stem Cell Treatment
What is Stem Cell Treatment?
Stem Cell Treatment is a therapeutic strategy for major
neurological, vascular and autoimmune disorders. The aim
of the treatment is to replace dead or injured cells in the
body, leading to improvements that would not be possible
with conventional medicine. The techniques themselves are
still relatively new, but their applications and benefits are
broad.
Korea has made strong advancement in stem cell research. It has the first stem cell medicine
in the world which is officially approved by KFDA (Korea Food and Drug Administration). This
medicine is known to be effective on treatment of acute myocardial infarction by regenerating
damaged cardiac muscle. Korea also has 2 more stem cell medicines which are effective on
restoration of cartilage and fistulous opening.
Although numerous hurdles remain to be overcome with stem cell treatment, stem cells offer
great promise as a therapy for various incurable diseases such as cancer, parkinson’s disease
and alzheimer.
What diseases can be cured by Stem Cell Treatment for now?
 Acute Myocardial Infarction
 Cartilage regeneration
 Spinal cord injuries
 Liver Failure
Knee Replacement
What is Knee Replacement?
Total knee arthroplasty (knee replacement) is a surgical procedure to replace the weightbearing surfaces of knee joint to relieve pain or disability. The procedure is performed in cases
of knee diseases or trauma and consists of replacing the diseased or damaged joint surfaces
with metal and plastic components shaped to allow continued motion of the
knee
Benefits of Knee Replacement
 Durable prosthesis made of new composite materials
 Short rehabilitation period
 Improving quality of life
Who Should Consider Knee Replacement?
- Patients with progressive long current degenerative diseases, accompanied by strong pain symptoms,
which are not amenable to physiotherapy and osteotomy
- Patients over 60 years old
- Patients who have strongly differentiated arthritis, verified by X-ray
Integrative Cancer Therapy
What is Integrative Cancer Therapy?
Integrative cancer therapy is the practice of providing whole-person care by combining conventional
treatments for cancer (such as chemotherapy, radiation, surgery) with naturopathic therapies. It will best
serve the needs of the patient when their diagnosis, prognosis, treatment history and individual
preferences are all considered. In most cases, naturopathic cancer therapies are best used alongside or in
conjunction with conventional treatments for cancer.
The physician will assist patients in making
informed decisions for their integrative cancer treatment.
Naturopathic cancer therapies available are as follows:
1. Immunotherapy
Cancer immunotherapy collects immune cells from the
patient’s own blood and amplifies several hundred folds.,
Then it activates them as immune cells with strong anticancer properties and the cells are re-injected to the
patients.
Characteristics of Cancer immunotherapy

It is effective in preventing recurrence and in
removing residual cancer cells.

It causes almost no pain or side effects.

It can be accompanied by chemotherapy.

It improves the quality of the patient’s life.
2. High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU, or sometimes called FUS for Focused Ultra Sound) is a
highly precise medical procedure that applies high-intensity focused ultrasound energy to the
affected area and destroy the diseased or damaged tissue through ablation.
HIFU has been successfully applied in treatment of cancer to destroy solid tumors of the bone, brain,
breast, liver, pancreas, rectum, kidney and prostate.
