Seoul National University Hospital (SNUH) International Healthcare Center

The International Healthcare Center is a contact point for international patients using Seoul National University Hospital. For visitors, the useful distinction is between arranging care and visiting a historic institution: a hospital remains a working clinical environment.

SNUH traces its institutional roots to Jejungwon in 1885. Its official history also identifies its university affiliation in 1946 and special-corporation status in 1978. These are milestones of the hospital, not founding dates of the present international center or its rooms.

Use the hospital’s international appointment service to explain the care you are seeking and ask what records are needed. Prepare a medication list and relevant reports. Confirm the clinic, language assistance, fees and insurance arrangements directly; an inquiry is not a confirmed appointment or a promise of coverage.

Follow the hospital’s directions for the correct building and reception desk. Protect other patients’ privacy and avoid photographing clinical areas without permission. Keep the appointment confirmation and ask how results and follow-up instructions will be provided.
