In January 2008, Dongsan Medical Center concluded a medical tourist business agreement with Daegu City to bring people from overseas by advertising Dongsan Medical Center’s good treatment such as reasonable prices and good quality services and Daegu City’s attractions. The center received fifty medical tourists, including workers from LG Electronics’ Philippine dealership and Algerian newspaper reporters, from February 21-22. The party had patient-specific comprehensive medical testing and sightseeing before their return home. The party spent one day on a tour of Keimyung Hanhak-chon, Seomun Market, and Woobang Land. Dongsan Medical Center prepared a medical team proficient in foreign languages and also guidebooks written in English to offer convenience to the party. In addition, Dongsan Medical Center, which has run an international medical clinic since 1967, has secured its status as an international clinic by providing better and more efficient treatment for the 4500 foreign patients it treats annually.
