Business

Since registering as a foreign-patient facilitator in February 2010, Goryeo Medical Tour Development has handled the preparations patients from abroad need before receiving care at hospitals in Korea. We use the medical records patients send to find hospitals that can see them, and coordinate travel and appointment dates, services during the stay and budget information. Medical care is provided by each hospital; we handle interpretation, accompaniment and scheduling.

• Before deciding — receiving medical records, checking which hospitals can provide care, passing on the treatment plan
• Before travel — assigning a dedicated coordinator, setting travel and appointment dates, explaining services and the budget for the stay, sending an invitation letter
• During the stay — airport pickup, guidance to accommodation and hospital, medical interpretation, help with receipts
• After returning home — satisfaction survey, airport drop-off, regular follow-up, help connecting with a local hospital

We work with checkup centers at university and general hospitals in Busan to plan checkup schedules for individuals and groups, with interpretation and transport. We have run checkups for groups from the USA, Mongolia and other countries, employee checkups for companies, and visits to institutions.

We have planned products that combine checkup or treatment schedules with stays and sightseeing, and some were selected in contests run by public organizations. Contents and costs depend on the schedule and the number of people, so we provide an individual estimate.
