Why Kwangdong
A checkup designed by physicians, read by specialists.
-
Thirty-two years at one address
Founded in 1994 by the Gasan Medical Foundation of the Kwangdong Pharmaceutical group, the hospital has stayed in Samseong-dong, Gangnam, ever since.
-
Test items chosen by a board, not a template
A Program Development Board led by Hospital Director Dr. Sang-Heon Cho designs the checkup on current medical evidence. Before your visit, items are adjusted to your age, family history and symptoms.
-
Western and Korean medicine under one roof
Internal medicine, gastroenterology, neurology, rehabilitation and Korean medicine work in the same building, so a finding becomes an appointment, not a new search.
-
Clear about what we don't do
Kwangdong Hospital does not perform surgery. If you need it, we refer you to a major university hospital, and the recovery and long-term care can continue here.

Before you book
Questions people ask first.
Something not covered here? Ask on WhatsApp and a coordinator will answer.
How many days do I need?
The Day Check-up takes about 4 hours, so you can leave the same day. The One-Night Stay is one night and two days.
Which language is the report in?
You receive the full report in English and a summary to share with your doctor at home.
Will someone interpret for me?
Yes. An English-speaking coordinator accompanies you one-on-one through the whole visit, including the results consultation. If you need another language, ask us when you book.
Where is bowel preparation done?
In your private room in the VIP ward. You don't use shared spaces.
What happens if something is found?
You are referred straight to the relevant department in the same building. Kwangdong Hospital does not perform surgery; if it is needed, we refer you to a major university hospital.
What happens after I go home?
We contact you five times over 12 months: the report on D+7, a follow-up call on D+30, a remote consultation on D+90, a check-in on D+180 and rebooking guidance on D+365.
Can you help with a visa?
We assist with visa paperwork and invitation letters once your booking is arranged.
How do I pay?
In Korean won or by credit card. An English receipt is available on request. If the hospital has an agreement with your overseas insurer, direct billing may be possible.
