Asan Medical Center is one of the leading clinics in South Korea. The center occupies several multi-story buildings, which house 4 institutes (oncology, cardiology, pediatrics, and research), 27 specialized centers, and 44 departments. It treats 11,000 outpatients and 2,500 inpatients daily.
Since its opening in 1989, Asan has been awarded The Most Admired Hospital 11 consecutive times, based on evaluations from patients and physicians. Other achievements include:
- Ranked #1 in Service Quality Index by the Korean Standards Association in 2013;
- Ranked #1 by the number of patients treated in 2011;
- Ranked #1 in the International Patient Satisfaction Ratings for 4 consecutive years;
- Performed 8,000 surgeries using the Da Vinci surgical robot in 2016.
The center’s efficiency is largely due to its advanced equipment:
- 17 CT scanners;
- 13 MRI machines;
- 16 angiography systems;
- 5 PET-CT scanners;
- The first True Beam linear accelerator in Korea;
- 3 Da Vinci surgical robots;
- Radiosurgery systems CyberKnife and Gamma Knife.
Another advantage is the strong international team of doctors with extensive experience in diverse medical fields. This allows for not only detailed diagnostics (including genetic testing) but also complex minimally invasive surgeries in children and adults — for example, tumor removal and organ transplants (liver, kidney, heart). Treatment outcomes are excellent, with minimal complication rates and high annual and five-year survival rates among patients.
The Asan Medical Center includes everything a patient or accompanying person might need — a bank, pharmacy, shops, Asian and European restaurants, laundry, hair salon, and beauty salon.
