A complete health checkup in Seoul. Priced, bookable and understood before you fly.

Three reasons that hold up to scrutiny. First, throughput: a comprehensive checkup that would mean six separate referrals and three months of waiting in Germany or France is completed in one or two mornings. Second, volume: Korea runs national gastric and colorectal cancer screening programmes, and endoscopist volume correlates directly with detection rates. Third, price: the same imaging and laboratory work costs roughly 40 to 60 percent less than private clinic pricing in Western Europe, which is usually enough to cover the flight. What Korea does not change is the medicine itself — the test is the same test.

For a single-visit package such as Essential Baseline, Heart and Vascular or Hormones and Metabolism: three nights is comfortable — arrive, recover from the flight, examinations the next morning, fly out the following day. For packages with sedation or two on-site visits, including Executive Whole-Body, Digestive System and Cancer Early Detection: four to five nights. You cannot fly within 12 hours of sedation, so never book a same-day departure after an endoscopy.

We name the clinic in your written confirmation, with its address and accreditation, before you pay the balance or book a flight — you always know where you are going before you travel. We do not publish clinic names on this site because we assign the facility that fits your specific package, dates and findings, and because our contracts are with several institutions rather than one. The commitment we make publicly is about standards: every facility we use holds Korean national accreditation and has an international patient department.

Yes for everything we control: the diagnostics listed, the interpreting, the coordination, the translation and the debrief. It excludes flights, accommodation and treatment of anything found — each package page lists its exclusions explicitly. The only way the amount changes after you pay is if you add tests yourself, or if a biopsy taken during an endoscopy generates histology beyond what the package includes, which we quote before proceeding and never add silently.

Statutory health insurers in the EU generally do not reimburse elective screening performed outside the EU, so plan on paying yourself. Private and supplementary policies vary widely and some do reimburse preventive diagnostics abroad in part. We issue an itemised invoice with procedure descriptions in English or German, which is what an insurer needs to assess a claim. We cannot promise reimbursement and we will not pretend otherwise — ask your insurer before you book if reimbursement is what makes the decision for you.

Yes, and more directly than you might expect. We are established in Portugal, so the GDPR applies to us under Article 3(1) as it does to any EU company — not through the extraterritorial route — and our supervisory authority is the Portuguese CNPD. Sending your data on to the Korean clinic is a transfer under Chapter V, which is carried by the European Commission adequacy decision for Korea adopted in December 2021: no standard contractual clauses are needed. Your rights — access, rectification, erasure, portability, objection, withdrawal of consent — apply in full, and you can complain to the CNPD or to your own national authority.
