Preventive checkups informed by your age, history, and concerns.

Common misunderstandings
Myth I can eat breakfast before the check-up.
Fact Most tests need fasting — eating can cancel them.
Myth More tests are always better.
Fact Tests should match your age and risk; extra tests can cause false alarms.
What to bring
- Previous check-up results

Questions to ask your doctor
- Which package suits my age and history?
- When will I get results, and in which language?
- What if something abnormal is found?
Please talk to your physician for exact dates, times and procedures. Every patient’s case is different and every procedure takes a different amount of time, so the figures shown are general planning estimates only. Some patients who cannot stay long in Korea have stitches removed or later check-ups done at home instead — your treating doctor decides what applies to you.
What you can discuss
- General and comprehensive screening
- Targeted screening based on risk
- Results review and follow-up planning
These are areas for consultation, not a promise of eligibility or treatment availability. A qualified Korean specialist determines what is appropriate for you.
Before your consultation
Your health history, medications, previous results, and screening priorities.
Speak to our team — multilingual support is available. We help communicate your questions and coordinate the records requested by your provider. Please don’t send sensitive medical records through an initial public inquiry; we’ll explain the appropriate sharing process.
Planning your time in Korea
Tests should be chosen with a clinician. Follow fasting instructions and leave time to review results.
Recovery, follow-up, and fitness to travel are determined by your clinician. Travel services are arranged separately and should fit your care plan.
