“Hallyu” (Korean wave) is more than K-Pop. In fact, Korea also has a very strong competitive edge in healthcare. First, it is a country that has an extremely cost-effective health care system with universal coverage of health insurance. Many developed and developing countries have bench-marked Korea for its unique system. Secondly, it boasts high-quality medical services that attract more than 300,000 foreign patients annually. It offers the highest quality of medical services in a broad range of categories, as diverse as cosmetic surgery, cancer treatment, physical checkups and robot surgeries. Third, Korea has fostered globally competitive industries in sectors such as pharmaceuticals, bio, clinical trials, health IT, and hospital management. The health care industry is one of the biggest vehicles for future growth in Korea.
