Asan Medical Center is part of the Clinic-Y partner network in Seoul, and appears in your written comparison when its departments match your case. We are the intermediary, not the provider. Our role is to compare this hospital against others for your specific case and to hold it to one written, all-inclusive price.
At a glance
On the figures we hold, Asan Medical Center is opened in 1989, 2,705 inpatient beds, 88 clinical departments and around 182,220 patients treated a year. We publish these figures because they are checkable, unlike marketing claims about being the best.
Accreditation and quality
Asan Medical Center holds ISO, KOIHA, World's Best Hospitals 2020 by Newsweek, World's Best Hospitals 2021 by Newsweek, World's Best Smart Hospitals 2021 by Newsweek, World's Best Hospitals 2022 by Newsweek and World's Best Smart Hospitals 2023 by Newsweek accreditation. Accreditation is our entry requirement rather than a selling point: independent auditors check infection control, medication safety, surgical protocols and outcome tracking on a recurring cycle.
What patients rate
Verified patient rating for Asan Medical Center is 4.5 out of 5, with 85% of patients reporting they were satisfied with their care. That places it at 9.2 out of 10 on the Clinic-Y service score, which we grade as outstanding. The score combines the verified rating, satisfaction rate, accreditation on file and capacity.
Broken down by category, patients score doctor 4.1, comfort 4.1, coordination 4.5, translation 5.0 and personal 4.5 out of 5, with translation rated highest.
International patient services
The practical side is handled by Clinic-Y rather than by the hospital front desk: transfers, hotel, interpreting, appointment sequencing and the paperwork in between.
Costs and what the package covers
A Clinic-Y quote is all-inclusive: specialist and anaesthesia fees, hospital stay, standard materials, medical interpreter, VIP transfers and hotel. Flights are quoted separately and anything excluded is listed on the same page.
Pricing in South Korea typically runs well below Western Europe and North America for comparable accredited care. The gap comes from operating costs, exchange rates and procedure volumes, not from cheaper implants or shorter protocols.

Getting there
Seoul is served by international flights and is a routine destination for medical travel. Visa requirements for South Korea vary by nationality; Clinic-Y checks yours before anything is booked and issues a support letter setting out your treatment schedule where a consular visa is needed.
الأسئلة المتكررة
Can I choose this hospital specifically?
Yes. If Asan Medical Center is where you want to be treated and your case is clinically suitable, we will obtain the quote from them. If it is not suitable, we will tell you why.
Does Clinic-Y charge me for using this hospital?
No. Coordination is free for patients. We are compensated within the package by the treating hospital, and because we work with many hospitals that never decides where you are sent.
What happens if there is a complication?
Complications during your stay are managed by the treating hospital under your package. The written complication and revision policy is included in your quote before you travel.
Will someone speak my language?
A medical interpreter attends every consultation, consent conversation and discharge briefing. Nothing is signed in a language you do not follow.
