🏥 Seeing a doctor in Korea

Clinics are fast and cheap with health insurance.

1. For colds, skin or small problems go to a local clinic (의원) – no appointment usually needed.
2. Bring your ARC; with National Health Insurance you pay only part of the cost.
3. Night-time: look for clinics open late or call 119 for emergencies.
4. Medical help lines: 120 (Dasan, Seoul) and 1345 can help with interpretation in some cases.
5. Insurance info: NHIS English.
