How to Prepare Medical Records for Treatment in Korea

• Recent diagnosis summary or referral letter
• Pathology, imaging reports (MRI, CT, PET), and lab results
• Operative notes or treatment history if you had prior surgery
• Medication list and allergies
• Passport bio page (for registration, not always required at first email)

Requirements vary by hospital. After you share your files, we confirm format expectations with your shortlist.

Immigration-style certified translation is often enough for hospital review. Some cases, especially legal or cross-border referrals, need notarized translation or apostille on the source document first.

We tell you which path fits your hospital and nationality before you pay for the wrong level of legalization.

Simple outpatient consults: allow 1–2 weeks to collect scans, translate summaries, and secure a hospital reply. Complex inpatient cases or multi-hospital comparisons: plan 3–4 weeks so matching and records run in parallel.

Starting records while hospital matching runs saves time, you are not waiting on translation after you already picked a date.
