Daeat Korean Medicine Clinic Seoul Launches International Medical Center for Foreign Patients

Daeat Korean Medicine Clinic (Seoul branch) announced on February 11 that it has officially begun operating an International Medical Center for foreign patients starting in February 2026.

The center operates a multilingual treatment system in which Korean medicine doctors directly provide consultations and medical care in foreign languages, including English, Chinese, and Japanese. Dr. Park Hyun-seo and Dr. Lee Seul provide consultations in English, Dr. Bang Min-woo (Chief Director) provides consultations in Japanese, and Dr. Lee Seul also conducts consultations in Chinese. Each physician personally manages the entire process, from consultation and treatment explanation to follow-up care.

Daeat Korean Medicine Clinic Seoul has already built a credible track record in the international medical tourism sector. The clinic has been selected as a Seoul Medical Tourism Partner Institution by the Seoul Metropolitan Government and the Seoul Tourism Organization. It has also been designated as a Gangnam Medical Tourism Partner Institution by the Gangnam District Office, officially recognizing its system for attracting and treating foreign patients.

In addition, the clinic is a member of the Korea International Medical Association (KIMA), participating in international patient care standards and global medical network development alongside domestic and overseas healthcare institutions. KIMA is a major private organization working with the Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Korea Health Industry Development Institute (KHIDI) to promote global medical cooperation and attract international patients.

Daeat Korean Medicine Clinic has also participated in the Medical Korea 2025 program, a national medical tourism initiative hosted by the Ministry of Health and Welfare and KHIDI. The program functions as a global medical tourism platform that promotes overseas expansion and evaluates the credibility of Korean medical institutions through international exhibitions and networking activities.

The clinic has additionally produced HLCC (Healthy Lifestyle Coach Certification) English lectures focusing on obesity management, metabolic health, and low-sugar dietary lifestyles. These lectures are distributed internationally through an education platform under UNESCO, presenting evidence-based approaches to lifestyle management rooted in Korean medicine, low-carbohydrate diets, and metabolic health.

Chief Director Bang Min-woo stated that the International Medical Center is designed not as an interpreter-based system but as a structure where Korean medicine doctors themselves explain medical assessments and treatment principles directly in foreign languages. He added that the clinic plans to provide standardized Korean medicine services to foreign patients based on its medical tourism certifications, international network, and academic and educational activities.
