The University Health Service Center provides health care for both students and faculty members. It works specifically for the prevention, early detection, and treatment of diseases, and for the improvement of public health on campus.
Its services include care in the areas of internal medicine, general surgery, orthopedic surgery, otorhinolaryngology, neuropsychiatry, ophthalmology, dermatology, gynecology and dentistry.
It also provides medical checkups for students, immunizations, sanitation checks for facilities on campus, and patient treatment.
The student medical service provides financial assistance by paying for a portion of their medical treatment if and when it is needed.
It is not obligatory to join the service. This system has been put into operation to contribute to the improvement of student health. After medical treatment is performed and payment is made, a subsistence application form must be completed. Since student medical service offers minimal coverage, the student should obtain comprehensive personal health and accident insurance.

The Seoul National University Hospital, the leading tertiary care facility in Korea, has now extended its services and programs of the International Clinic in response to the increasing demand of foreign residents in Korea. Its services and programs include inpatient and outpatient care and consultations, mostly provided by a comprehensive range of advanced specialists.
The insurance should be effective from the time the student enrolls.
Student Medical Mutual Aid Service (on campus)
The Student Medical Mutual Aid Service financially assists students by paying for a portion of their medical treatment fee when they need medical care. This system has been put into operation in order to contribute to improving students’ health. The students are charged with a fixed fee upon admission and become members of the service during their time at SNU.
Health Insurance (off campus)
It is recommended that a comprehensive medical care insurance be obtained by the students since the Student Medical Mutual Aid Service offers only minimal coverage.
Effective as of October 1, 1998, all foreigners and Korean nationals residing abroad, who intend to stay in Korea for more than a year, can receive medical insurance coverage (with a certain insurance premium to be paid monthly).
