MEDIWIN Co., Ltd., a foreign-patient facilitator registered in Korea (Registration No. A-2022-01-01-4465), arranges it. MEDIWIN sends your pathology report, scans and treatment history to the oncology teams at Asan Medical Center, Samsung Medical Center or Seoul St. Mary's Hospital, obtains the hospital's written opinion and cost estimate before you travel, and coordinates appointments, an interpreter and accommodation.
You pay the hospital directly. MEDIWIN has no offices or representatives outside Korea; coordinators answer from Seoul by WhatsApp or Telegram (+82 10 8864 3792) and by email (mediwinkorea@gmail.com).
For cosmetic surgery and dermatology, international patients can research clinics and book appointments on their own. Serious and complex conditions do not work that way. MEDIWIN’s facilitator registration number is A-2022-01-01-4465, issued by the Seoul Metropolitan Government and valid to 29 June 2028 — you can ask any Korean agency for its number and check it.
Cancer, cardiovascular disease, neurological and spinal conditions, organ transplant and rare disease cannot be managed at a small private clinic. They need a tertiary university hospital — multidisciplinary tumour boards, intensive care, advanced imaging and surgical teams that handle these cases every week.
But Korea’s major university hospitals are difficult for an overseas patient to reach directly. Medical records must be translated and submitted in the format the hospital requires, the case has to be routed to the correct department and specialist, international appointments run through a separate channel, and a medical visa usually has to be arranged before travel.
This is the gap MEDIWIN exists to close. We are a Korean government-registered medical tourism facilitator, and we connect international patients with serious conditions to Korea’s major university hospitals — handling record submission, department matching, appointment booking and interpretation on your behalf.
MEDIWIN holds formal patient-referral agreements with Samsung Medical Center, Asan Medical Center and Seoul St. Mary’s Hospital, and has referred international patients to them under those agreements. Alongside these tertiary centres we work with CHA Hospital, Gangnam JS Hospital and a wider network of specialist clinics.
This matters more than it may sound. Korea’s medical tourism market has a real problem with unregistered brokers, and a tertiary university hospital will not enter a referral agreement with one. MEDIWIN is registered with the Korean government as a medical tourism facilitator, registered with the Seoul Tourism Organization and listed by the Korea Health Industry Development Institute — and it is on that basis that these hospital agreements exist.
MEDIWIN is not a hospital and does not provide medical care. What we do is get your case in front of the right specialist at the right institution, and stay with you through the process. Every clinical decision is made by the treating physician, and whether a hospital accepts a case is always the hospital’s decision after its medical team has reviewed the records.
Referral agreements with Samsung Medical Center, Asan Medical Center and Seoul St. Mary’s Hospital were signed in 2024.
Cases coordinated under these hospital agreements include:
Asan Medical Center — ear reconstruction, liver cancer surgery, kidney transplant
Samsung Medical Center — jaw reconstruction, colorectal cancer surgery
Seoul St. Mary’s Hospital — orbital fracture repair, haematological cancer treatment
These are cases a private clinic cannot take on: reconstructive surgery after trauma or tumour resection, oncological surgery, solid organ transplant and blood cancer treatment. Each was routed to the relevant department at the relevant hospital, with MEDIWIN handling the records, scheduling, interpretation around it.
MEDIWIN holds formal patient referral agreements with these three university hospitals in Seoul.

Liver cancer & liver transplant → Liver cancer treatment and living-donor liver transplantation at Asan Medical Center.
Blood cancer & stem cell transplant → Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and blood cancer treatment at Seoul St. Mary’s Hospital.
Kidney transplant → Living-donor and ABO-incompatible kidney transplantation at partner university hospitals.

Cardiovascular, neurological and spinal conditions, and rare or undiagnosed disease are also coordinated through the same university hospital network.
Second opinion → If you already have a diagnosis and treatment plan, a Korean specialist can review your records and give an independent opinion — often before you decide whether to travel at all.
— Review and professional translation of your medical records, imaging and pathology

You pay the hospital directly. MEDIWIN does not add fees to your medical bill.
1. Tell us the diagnosis. Send a short summary of the condition, the country you would travel from, and your preferred language.
2. Send your records. Diagnosis, imaging, pathology and any current treatment plan. We translate and organise them for hospital review.
3. Hospital review. The case is submitted to the relevant department. The hospital confirms whether it can accept the case and what the treatment pathway would be.
4. Estimate and schedule. You receive a written cost estimate, a minimum length of stay, and proposed appointment dates.
5. Travel preparation. Flights, accommodation and airport transfer.
6. Treatment and aftercare. Interpretation at every consultation, coordination during admission, and follow-up support once you are home.
Contacts, time difference, documents and payment — in your language.
Yes. A foreign patient can apply to a Korean university hospital's international healthcare center directly or through a registered foreign-patient facilitator. MEDIWIN is a foreign-patient facilitator registered with the Seoul Metropolitan Government (registration No. A-2022-01-01-4465). It has patient-referral agreements with Asan Medical Center, Samsung Medical Center and Seoul St. Mary's Hospital, as well as a referral arrangement with CHA Fertility Center for fertility treatment.
The hospital and its specialists decide. MEDIWIN submits your records to the hospital's international healthcare center, follows up on the request and passes the hospital's reply on to you. MEDIWIN does not make medical decisions and cannot promise acceptance, a specific doctor or a treatment result.
Commonly requested documents include a recent medical report or discharge summary with the diagnosis, the pathology report (for cancer), recent imaging (CT, MRI or PET) with the radiology reports, recent test results and a summary of previous treatments. The hospital may also ask for the original imaging files (DICOM), an identification document or additional records, depending on the condition.
It depends on the hospital, the department and how complete the records are, so no fixed review time can be guaranteed. MEDIWIN follows up on the request and shares the hospital's response with you once it is received.
MEDIWIN does not charge patients a facilitation fee for coordinating hospital review requests or appointments. MEDIWIN receives its referral fee from the hospital, not from the patient. Patients pay medical costs directly to the hospital, based on the hospital's own estimate and invoice. Optional services such as a dedicated medical interpreter, airport transfer or accommodation booking may cost extra, and we tell you the price before you agree.
Да. Иностранный пациент может обратиться в международный центр университетской клиники Кореи напрямую или через зарегистрированное агентство по организации лечения иностранных пациентов. MEDIWIN — такое агентство, зарегистрированное в администрации города Сеула (рег. № A-2022-01-01-4465). У MEDIWIN есть соглашения о направлении пациентов с Медицинским центром «Асан», Медицинским центром «Самсунг» и больницей Сеул Сент-Мэрис (Seoul St. Mary's Hospital), а также договорённость о направлении пациентов на лечение бесплодия в центр CHA Fertility.
Решение принимает клиника и её врачи. MEDIWIN передаёт ваши документы в международный центр клиники, отслеживает статус рассмотрения запроса и передаёт вам ответ клиники. MEDIWIN не принимает медицинских решений и не может гарантировать приём, конкретного врача или результат лечения.
Обычно клиника запрашивает: недавнюю выписку из истории болезни или заключение с диагнозом, гистологическое заключение (при онкологии), свежие снимки КТ, МРТ или ПЭТ с описанием, последние анализы и краткие сведения о проведённом лечении. В зависимости от заболевания клиника может также запросить исходные файлы снимков (DICOM), документ, удостоверяющий личность, или дополнительные документы.
Это зависит от клиники, отделения и полноты документов, поэтому точный срок рассмотрения гарантировать нельзя. MEDIWIN отслеживает ваш запрос и передаёт ответ клиники после его получения.
MEDIWIN не взимает с пациентов агентское вознаграждение за организацию рассмотрения медицинских документов и запись на приём. Вознаграждение за направление пациента MEDIWIN получает от клиники. Медицинские услуги пациент оплачивает непосредственно клинике согласно её расчёту стоимости и выставленному счёту. Дополнительные услуги, такие как сопровождение медицинского переводчика, трансфер из аэропорта или бронирование проживания, могут оплачиваться отдельно. Их стоимость сообщается заранее, до вашего согласия.
نعم. يمكن للمريض الأجنبي التقدّم إلى مركز الخدمات الطبية الدولية في المستشفى الجامعي الكوري مباشرةً أو عبر وكالة مسجّلة لتنسيق علاج المرضى الأجانب. ميديوين (MEDIWIN) وكالة مسجّلة لدى حكومة مدينة سيول (رقم التسجيل A-2022-01-01-4465)، ولديها اتفاقيات لإحالة المرضى مع مركز أسان الطبي ومركز سامسونج الطبي ومستشفى سيول سانت ماري، إضافةً إلى ترتيب لإحالة المرضى إلى مركز CHA للخصوبة لعلاج العقم.
المستشفى وأطباؤه هم من يقرّرون. ترسل ميديوين ملفك الطبي إلى مركز الخدمات الطبية الدولية في المستشفى، وتتابع الطلب، وتنقل إليك ردّ المستشفى. لا تتخذ ميديوين قرارات طبية، ولا تستطيع ضمان القبول أو طبيب معيّن أو نتيجة العلاج.
تشمل المستندات المطلوبة عادةً: تقريراً طبياً حديثاً أو ملخص خروج يتضمن التشخيص، وتقرير الفحص النسيجي أو تقرير علم الأمراض (في حالات السرطان)، وصور الأشعة الحديثة (CT أو MRI أو PET) مع تقاريرها، ونتائج التحاليل الحديثة، وملخصاً للعلاجات السابقة. وقد يطلب المستشفى أيضاً ملفات الأشعة الأصلية (DICOM) أو وثيقة هوية أو مستندات إضافية حسب الحالة.
يختلف ذلك حسب المستشفى والقسم واكتمال المستندات، لذا لا يمكن ضمان مدة محددة للمراجعة. تتابع ميديوين الطلب وترسل إليك ردّ المستشفى بعد استلامه.
لا تتقاضى ميديوين (MEDIWIN) من المرضى رسوم وساطة مقابل تنسيق طلب مراجعة الملف الطبي أو ترتيب المواعيد مع المستشفى. وتتلقى ميديوين رسوم إحالة المرضى من المستشفى، وليس من المريض. ويسدد المريض تكاليف الخدمات الطبية مباشرةً إلى المستشفى وفقاً لتقدير التكلفة والفاتورة الصادرين عنه. أما الخدمات الاختيارية، مثل المترجم الطبي المرافق أو النقل من المطار أو حجز الإقامة، فقد تترتب عليها رسوم إضافية، ويتم إبلاغ المريض بتكلفتها قبل الموافقة عليها.
Yes. MEDIWIN holds formal patient-referral agreements with Samsung Medical Center, Asan Medical Center and Seoul St. Mary’s Hospital, and refers international patients to them under those agreements. Your case is submitted to the hospital’s international healthcare centre and the appointment is arranged on your behalf. Acceptance is still the hospital’s decision — the medical team reviews your records first and confirms whether it is a case they can treat. We tell you the outcome either way, and if one hospital cannot take the case we look at the alternatives.
A short summary of the diagnosis, the country you would be travelling from, and your medical records — imaging, pathology and any current treatment plan. Please do not send medical files through the website chat. Our team will give you a secure channel for them. We then translate and organise the records into the format the hospital requires for review.
We cannot give a figure before the hospital has reviewed your case, and we will not guess at one. Cost depends on the diagnosis, the stage, the treatment pathway the specialist recommends and the length of admission. What we can commit to is a written estimate issued by the hospital before you decide to travel, and no MEDIWIN fees added to your medical bill — you pay the hospital directly.
It depends entirely on the treatment. A second-opinion consultation may take only a few days. Surgery followed by recovery and post-operative review may take several weeks. The hospital provides a minimum length of stay together with the cost estimate, so you can plan flights, accommodation and time away from work before departure.
In many cases, yes. If you send your diagnosis and records, a Korean specialist can review them and provide an independent opinion. For patients who already have a treatment plan at home, this is often the sensible first step — it lets you decide whether travelling for treatment is worth it before committing to the trip.
Important. MEDIWIN provides this service to patients residing outside Korea only. It is not offered to residents of Korea. MEDIWIN is a medical tourism facilitator, not a medical provider: every clinical opinion, diagnosis and treatment decision is made and issued by a licensed physician at the treating hospital. MEDIWIN translates and delivers your records to that hospital and delivers the hospital’s response back to you. It does not write, alter, summarise or interpret any medical opinion.
