AB Plastic Surgery Clinic Receives Certification as a Hospital for Attracting International Patients... Expands Its Position in Medical Tourism as a K-Medical Brand

AB Plastic Surgery Clinic announced on the 2nd that it had been officially approved as a regular member medical institution by the Korea International Medical Association (KIMA), an organization under the Ministry of Health and Welfare.

This KIMA regular membership registration is recognized at the government level as proof that AB Plastic Surgery Clinic is a medical institution that provides safe and reliable medical services in line with international standards. It is expected to serve as a turning point for strengthening its brand position in the global plastic surgery market as a representative K-Medical institution and for fully responding to demand for medical tourism by foreign patients.

KIMA is the most authoritative certification body in Korea for attracting foreign patients, and only hospitals that pass its strict government-affiliated screening standards are registered as regular members.

Through this approval, AB Plastic Surgery Clinic has secured its status as a credible hospital for attracting foreign patients, further strengthening the foundation for overseas patients to choose its medical services with confidence.

BAE In-ho, CEO of AB Plastic Surgery Clinic, said, “KIMA registration is highly meaningful because it means that trust and safety, which are key criteria for foreign patients when choosing a hospital, have been officially recognized by the government,” and added, “We will continue to expand our advanced infrastructure so that foreign patients can more conveniently experience medical tourism and plastic surgery treatment for foreigners in Korea.”

Meanwhile, AB Plastic Surgery Clinic has already built a medical tourism infrastructure for foreign patients over many years. It currently operates official websites and SNS channels in seven languages, including English, Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, and Indonesian, and provides a systematized platform so that patients from each country can conveniently access medical information in their own language.

In addition, counseling staff who are fluent in the relevant languages and are either local nationals or native-level speakers are in charge of everything from online consultations to one-on-one interpretation during hospital visits, creating a medical tourism environment with no language barriers.

As demand from foreign patients has recently surged, especially from the United States, Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, and China, the hospital is strengthening its ability to respond to medical tourism by newly hiring dedicated staff for those language regions and expanding its global team to about twice its previous size.

A representative from AB Plastic Surgery Clinic said, “Taking this approval as a springboard, we will grow into a representative K-Medical hospital that global patients considering plastic surgery and medical tourism can trust and choose,” adding, “We will continue to provide safe and highly satisfactory medical experiences to patients from around the world who visit Korea through internationally standardized treatment and services.”
