Samsung Medical Center

Samsung Medical Center sits within the COEX campus in Gangnam-gu, operating as one of South Korea's largest tertiary hospitals with over 1,900 beds and specialist departments spanning oncology, cardiology, neurology, and transplant surgery. The Health Promotion Center on its upper floors runs four health screening tiers, from a three-hour Primary package through to the Premium full-day programme that includes brain MRI, coronary calcium CT, and PET-CT imaging. Every package begins with sedated gastroscopy as standard, a reflection of Korea's high gastric cancer screening rates, and includes tumour markers, thyroid function, hepatitis panels, and comprehensive metabolic blood work. The International Health Center, operational since 1995, assigns each overseas patient a bilingual coordinator who manages scheduling, interpretation during consultations, and post-visit report delivery in English. Higher-tier packages add colonoscopy, echocardiography, carotid doppler, bone densitometry, and advanced cardiovascular risk profiling. Women's packages include mammography, breast ultrasound, pelvic examination, and hormone panels. Samsung Medical Center has been ranked Korea's top hospital for twelve consecutive years and placed third globally for cancer care by Newsweek, making its screening centre one of the most clinically backed options available to medical tourists visiting Seoul.
