Lounge of the Global Health Checkup Center

The Global Health Checkup Center reopened in March 2024 after a renewal for the hospital's 30th anniversary. All checkup tests are completed on B2 and B1, with reception on 1F.

The Endoscopy Center is on the same floor. A sedated gastroscopy or colonoscopy happens along the same route as the rest of the checkup, and anything found is passed to gastroenterology on the spot.

Built for a short stay

For patients from abroad, the one-night, two-day Global Premium Checkup is arranged so that the checkup, the reading and the results consultation are all done before the patient flies home. A coordinator who speaks the patient's language joins the results consultation.

What goes into each checkup is decided by the Program Development Board, chaired by Hospital Director Sang-Heon Cho. The aim is the checkup a person needs, not the same list for everyone.
