Healthcare, which has remained largely regional and local to date, has not escaped globalization unscathed. The ministry is working on writing a revised bill to expand telemedicine services within South Korea. As of now, we are living in a globalized society and a huge part of what makes our community globalized is diversity. The increase in diversity is due to the increased number of foreigners who choose to visit South Korea.
According to the Korea Tourism Organization, the number of visitors to Korea during June went up by 29.3% from the previous year – 1.2 million people.
Many tourists visit Korea for medical purposes nowadays. According to the Ministry of Health and Welfare, the number of foreigners who visited Korea for the purpose of hospitalization, outpatient and health checkup rose steadily from 60 thousand in 2009 to approximately 363 thousand people in 2016.
With the rapid rise of hospitals and medical facilities, one stands out from the rest. BAROSUN Hospital hopes to provide the best service possible to patients. In 2015, it was selected as the lead international artificial joint training center. It was also awarded the “Medical Innovation Award” for three consecutive years by the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Health and Welfare. Additionally, based on its excellent medical technology, BAROSUN has been selected as a cooperative medical institution in joint expertise; the hospital is actively working with the city of Seoul to revitalize overseas medical tourism.
So what is BAROSUN known for? BAROSUN Hospital is currently providing the highest level of medical services by 13 specialists including Jun-Sik Kim, a medical expert of total knee replacement surgery, and In-Mook Lee, the director of minimal invasive surgery. The hospital’s core values lies in investing in the basic requirements for medical treatment and research, bringing together the best medical staff in the country.
BAROSUN Hospital is leading not only medical technology innovation, but also the opportunity to grow with the community. The director of the hospital stated, “If we take the philosophy of basic medical services along with patient care and giving back to the community, we will have a perfect balance between the internal and external hospital environment that can provide the best medical service. We have a great resource for the best medical service, so we will work together with all our employees to make a big leap forward in this field.”
