The English-speaking Medical Referral Service (MRS) has been operating in Seoul for 35 years and is funded by the SeoulGlobalCenter. It is staffed by a team of mostly expatriate medically-trained volunteers who provide confidential medical referrals to callers and emailers. MRS team members take turns on-call with one of two cell phones and operate the?service in English only. They can refer callers to a wide range of hospitals, clinics and medical specialists throughout Seoul including English-speaking International Clinics, Dentists, Dermatologists, Obstetricians and Gynecologists (OBGYN), Oriental Medicine Clinics and Pediatricians. The MRS has only a limited knowledge of medical facilities outside Seoul. MRS team members work with their callers to refer them to the best medical facility for their needs, not just the closest one. The MRS has also assessed all the hospitals and clinics they recommend to ensure they provide a high standard of care for English-speaking foreigners.
