The Ihwa Clinic, for example, applies a reduced rate for accommodation in wards for foreign patients, the Mediplex Sejong Clinic conducts a one-way ticket payment campaign for the patient, and the Gil Clinic provides discounts for the examination of 2 or more people.
Incheon City Hall also takes great care of patients staying in the region for treatment, so they have developed a loyalty program for patients who need to come back, and the city Hall reimburses the cost of staying at the hotel during treatment.
