Founded in 1928 as the Chosun Women’s Medical Training Institute, Korea’s first medical school for women, Korea University Anam Hospital has grown into a leading tertiary referral hospital as it approaches its 100th anniversary in 2028. The hospital has received JCI accreditation five consecutive times since 2009, and completed the Medi-Complex — a state-of-the-art, patient-centered facility — in 2023. With 43 specialties and 34 specialized centers, Anam Hospital treats over 15,000 international patients annually from more than 130 countries, offering services in English, Mongolian, Russian, and Arabic.
Anam Hospital has pioneered several world- and Asia-first innovations, including the world’s first scarless transoral robotic thyroid surgery and Asia’s first use of the Da Vinci 5 robotic surgical system. Robotic surgery volume has grown by an average of 25.7% annually over the past five years, reaching 2,785 cases in 2025. The hospital is also officially designated as a research-driven hospital by Korea’s Ministry of Health and Welfare, and serves as a Severe Trauma Center, Regional Emergency Medical Center, and Central Injury Management Center.
Since opening in 2008, the International Healthcare Center has provided comprehensive one-stop support for international patients — from pre-visit consultations to treatment, transportation, and insurance claims — through dedicated multilingual coordinators, direct billing with major global insurers, and telemedicine services for pre- and post-treatment care.
