Professor Kim Min-jung (Department Head of Health Tourism Chinese) said, “Although somewhat slowed by COVID-19, the number of Chinese medical tourists visiting Busan has greatly increased over the past decade due to the rapid growth of the Chinese economy,” adding, “We plan to establish a multifaceted cooperation system to train medical tourism coordinators equipped with Chinese language skills and healthcare expertise.”
