Busan: every government-listed medical facility
356 facilities in Busan appear on the Medical Korea registered-institution list as of October 30, 2026, across 16 districts. 7 of these rows belong to a provider with a researched profile on the South Korea guide. Names are shown as the regulator publishes them.
What being on this list means
The institution is registered under the Act on Support for Overseas Expansion of Healthcare System and Attraction of International Patients, which any Korean medical institution must do before it recruits or treats foreign patients. Registered institutions must carry medical malpractice liability insurance and display the registration certificate on premises.
What it does not mean
Registration is not an accreditation. It does not say whether a board-certified specialist operates, whether an anesthesiologist is on staff, or how outcomes compare. The separate KAHF accreditation covers about 26 institutions. A clinic can be registered and still be the subject of a regulator action.
