Good KangAn Hospital to Serve as Base Hospital for Medical Support for International Students

'Busan-Type Anchor' Agreement Provides One-Stop Medical Services Including Interpretation and Consultation Fee Discounts

Good KangAn Hospital will participate as a base hospital to provide medical convenience for foreign exchange students.

On April 16, the Busan Metropolitan Government signed a business agreement for the establishment of the 'Busan-Type Anchor (ANCHOR) Medical Support System for Foreign Exchange Students' at the Busan RISE Innovation Institute. The signing ceremony was attended by three hospitals selected as customized base hospitals for international students: Good KangAn Hospital (Southern Region), Dong-Eui Medical Center (Central Region), and Daedong Hospital (Eastern Region).

Under this agreement, each hospital will provide medical interpretation services for foreign exchange students and offer specialized medical benefits such as discounts on consultation fees, comprehensive medical checkups, and vaccinations for students in the early stages of their stay before their health insurance coverage begins. In addition, the hospitals will operate a priority reservation system exclusively for international students and provide one-stop administrative services including issuance of documents in English and Russian and support for overseas insurance claims.

Foreign exchange students can receive various medical support benefits immediately by presenting their student ID when visiting the designated base hospitals.

Park Changsun, Head of the International Cooperation Team at Good KangAn Hospital, said, "It is significant that Busan Metropolitan Government has created an environment through the RISE system where foreign exchange students can focus on their studies without concerns about medical care," and added, "As a base hospital, we will play a reliable role in safeguarding the health of international students."
