At a special welcoming ceremony at Incheon International Airport, district officials and medical staff greeted Ms. Tsevelmaa with heartfelt support, marking the beginning of her journey toward recovery. The initiative reflects Gangnam’s mission to extend advanced Korean healthcare to international patients who otherwise face financial or geographic barriers to treatment.
◇Medical Gangnam: Building a Global Healthcare Brand
Launched as a flagship project, Medical Gangnam is designed to promote Seoul’s Gangnam District as a premier destination for medical tourism. Already home to many of Korea’s top hospitals and cutting-edge clinics, Gangnam is rapidly emerging as a leader in “medical Hallyu”—the globalization of Korean healthcare excellence.
◇A Vision Beyond Treatment
Speaking on the occasion, Mayor CHO Sung-Myeung emphasized the broader purpose of the program:
“This Medical Gangnam Sharing Healthcare Program goes beyond offering medical treatment. It is an opportunity for Gangnam to strengthen global trust, enhance international cooperation, and solidify our reputation as a leading healthcare city. We will continue expanding the ‘Medical Gangnam’ brand, attract more overseas patients, and further develop medical tourism.”
The mayor’s remarks highlight Gangnam’s long-term vision—not just as a local district, but as a global healthcare hub where compassion, innovation, and excellence intersect.
The collaboration between Gangnam District and Wooridul Spine Hospital represents a model for future partnerships. Wooridul, renowned for its expertise in spinal care, brings world-class capabilities to the program, ensuring patients like Ms. Tsevelmaa receive top-quality medical attention.
◇Towards a World-Renowned Global Medical Hub
With its blend of state-of-the-art healthcare infrastructure, highly skilled professionals, and strong government support, Gangnam is steadily building its reputation as a global medical tourism hub. The district is committed to offering a comprehensive healthcare experience—seamlessly integrating advanced treatment with cultural hospitality and international patient support.
Programs like the Medical Gangnam Sharing Healthcare Program underline a philosophy of inclusive healthcare, where access is not limited by borders or financial constraints. By giving patients renewed opportunities for life and health, Gangnam is demonstrating leadership that resonates worldwide.
◇A Future of Global Healthcare Cooperation
Looking ahead, Gangnam District plans to expand the reach of its overseas patient invitation initiative. By working with more hospitals and international partners, the district envisions a future where Medical Gangnam is synonymous with trust, quality, and compassion in healthcare.
Through consistent investment in medical innovation and humanitarian outreach, Gangnam is well on its way to establishing itself as a true global healthcare hub, a place where international patients not only find medical solutions but also new hope for the future.
