MEDICAL FACILITIES AND HEALTH INFORMATION: Hospitals in Korea are
generally well-equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic and therapeutic
equipment. High quality general and specialty dental care is available in
Seoul. Western-style medical facilities are available in major urban areas
of Seoul, Busan, Daegu, and a few other large cities. However, not all
doctors and staff in these major urban areas are proficient in English.
Most clinics in rural areas do not have an English-speaking doctor. A list
of hospitals and medical specialists who speak English is available at the U.S.
Embassy in Seoul or on the Embassy's web site at http://korea.usembassy.gov/health.html.
