Myongji Hospital

Myongji Hospital is a multi-disciplinary medical facility in Goyang, South Korea. Established in 1987, it operates across five buildings and houses 34 medical departments. The hospital serves over 560,000 patients annually, including many from Russia, Mongolia, and China. It has 680 beds for inpatient care across various specialties.

Recognitions and Certifications

The hospital holds the 2026 IHF (International Hospital Federation) label and is a certified medical institution in South Korea. Its endoscopy unit has received the "Excellent Endoscopy Room" designation, which signals high diagnostic safety standards. The Safety and Health Corporation also recognizes the facility for its operational standards. In 2024, the oncology department recorded over 4,400 outpatient visits and 7,600 inpatient treatments.

Specialized Cardiac and Vascular Care

The Cardio-surgical Center has performed over 5,000 heart operations and more than 3,500 aortic coronary bypass procedures. Specialists use the Da Vinci Xi robotic system for TECAB – a fully endoscopic coronary artery bypass. This method allows revascularization without opening the chest or using a cardiopulmonary bypass machine. Professor Kim Min-Sok leads these robotic cardiac interventions.

The hospital treats several cardiovascular conditions through dedicated pathways:

• Chronic heart failure and myocardial infarction
• Arrhythmia and atrial fibrillation
• Atherosclerosis and vascular diseases
• Aortic coronary bypass and heart transplantation

Dr. Hwang Ui-seok specializes in arrhythmias and atrial fibrillation within the Cardiovascular Center. The hospital supports research through international physician training programs for surgery and gastroenterology.

Orthopedics and Sports Medicine

The Sports Medical Center has completed over 3,000 operations, focusing on joint preservation and reconstruction. Professor Kim Jin-gu specializes in joint replacement, arthroscopy, and meniscus transplantation for sports injuries. Professor Li Yong Gol brings over 30 years of experience in shoulder and elbow joint surgeries. He has performed thousands of procedures during his clinical career.

Orthopedic services include several specialized treatments:

• Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction
• Knee joint replacement and endoprosthesis
• Shoulder and elbow joint reconstruction
• Limb preservation at the Diabetic Foot Clinic

The hospital offers Zoom-based orthopedic consultations for international patients. During these sessions, specialists review X-rays to determine the best surgical approach before the patient travels.

Oncology and Digestive Health

The Cancer Center follows a "One-Stop" approach – diagnosis and treatment happen in a single streamlined process. This includes an Onco-Emotion System to support patients receiving radiotherapy. For digestive tract cancers, accelerated care pathways ensure surgery occurs within a set timeframe after diagnosis. The facility produces its own medicines for immunotherapy and cell therapy treatments.

Advanced Medical Technologies

Surgeons use the Da Vinci Xi system for urological procedures and robotic thyroidectomy to treat thyroid cancer. For diagnostics, the hospital uses PET/CT and whole-body CT scans to detect early-stage diseases. The Macrogen genetic analysis platform screens for about 50 types of oncological and general conditions. Other tools include Doppler sonography for vessel imaging and coronary angiography for heart assessment.

International Patient Services

The International Medical Center has operated since 2010. It provides 1:1 medical translation in English, Russian, Mongolian, and Chinese. Staff members assist with airport transfers, visa booking, and hotel arrangements for patients and families. The center offers VIP inpatient rooms and European cuisine to suit international preferences. Online neurosurgery consultations are available, where specialists review MRI results remotely.

The emergency department stays open 24/7, including all public holidays. A structured follow-up protocol monitors patient recovery after they return home. For administrative ease, the hospital provides receipts in Russian for patients from CIS countries.
