Published programme

The 5th Busan Seo-gu Medical Tourism Festival will be held on October 16th and 17th for two days at Songdo Ocean Park. It will be co-hosted by Seo-gu, Busan University Hospital, Dong-A University Hospital, Kosin University Gospel Hospital, and Samyuk Busan Hospital. This festival aims to widely promote Seogu, the first "Medical Tourism Special Zone" in the Gyeongnam and Gyeongsang regions. It also seeks to establish a foundation for attracting more foreign patients through "business consultations" and "buyer familiarization tours," and to provide residents and tourists with accurate health information and various hands-on activities. This year, approximately 60 booths will host health-related consultations, exhibitions, promotions, and hands-on activities. Participating hospitals, public health centers, the National Health Insurance Service, and other medical institutions will provide visitors with various health services and information, including physical examinations, stress assessments, acupuncture treatments from traditional Korean medicine practitioners, and consultations on proper medication usage. In addition, we will operate a "Medical and Healthcare Industry Promotion Center" in collaboration with Busan Technopark. This center will focus on promoting key projects in the medical special zone of Seo-gu, including the Seo-gu Medical R&D Knowledge Industry Center, incubator programs, local industries, and medical verification projects. It will also showcase a variety of innovative medical and healthcare devices from companies participating in these projects. The venue offers a variety of wellness experience programs suitable for all ages and genders, including "slow jogging," "silent meditation yoga," "crossfit," and "jumping fitness," all aligned with the health and wellness concept. In addition, there are attractions such as a "Kids Doctor Experience Zone" and "Air Sports," as well as family-friendly experience booths, providing a rich array of sights and activities for the festival. In addition to the main event, there will be various activities, including a "Health Talk Concert" featuring a plastic surgery specialist from (Gosin University) Evangelical Hospital, a "Children's Magic and Balloon Show," and large board games. The festival opening ceremony is scheduled for 3:00 PM on the 16th. The opening celebration stage will feature performances by 'An Seong-hoon,' the winner of 'Mr. Trot 2,' the gugak b-boy group 'Last Street Crew,' and the pop flutist 'Seo Ga-bi,' who are expected to deliver an exciting performance.
